Hold on, I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would name a bucket 'bucketl'. Seriously, who comes up with these names? Anyway, I think the answer is C as well, but I'm just hoping the real exam questions are more creative.

I agree with Dallas, the policy seems to allow access to both buckets.

I believe you can only access bucket1 because bucket2 doesn't have a policy.

I think I can access both buckets because my policy allows it.

I agree with the previous candidate. The key here is that the bucket2 doesn't have a policy, so Alice can access it based on the IAM policy. And the bucket policy on bucketl explicitly allows Alice to perform all actions. Looks like the correct answer is C.

Hmm, let's see. Based on the bucket policy and IAM policy, I think Alice can access both bucketl and bucket2. The bucket policy on bucketl allows Alice to perform all actions, and the IAM policy doesn't have any restrictions on accessing bucket2 since it doesn't have a policy defined.

That's correct. The bucket policy on bucketl allows all actions and the IAM policy doesn't restrict access to bucket2.
