AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration Example Questions

Test your knowledge of Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration

Question 1

A company with multiple offices worldwide plans to use S3 Transfer Acceleration to manage cross-region data transfers. How should the company ensure the security of data during transfers?

Correct Answer: Use HTTPS protocol for data transfer.

Amazon recommends using the HTTPS protocol to transmit data securely, as it provides encryption in transit. Other options like Direct Connect, storage classes, Glacier, VPN, or VPC endpoint do not affect the security of data transfer when using S3 Transfer Acceleration.

Question 2

A gaming company plans to use S3 Transfer Acceleration for their global user base. They need to choose a region that will have minimal latency when transferring game files to S3. How should they choose the optimal region for their S3 bucket?

Correct Answer: Use the Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration Speed Comparison tool to determine the optimal region.

The Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration Speed Comparison tool lets users compare transfer speeds across various regions, based on their specific locations. Other options such as choosing a region based on company location, Direct Connect, replication, storage class, or CloudFront do not guarantee optimal transfer speeds for S3 Transfer Acceleration.

Question 3

A company has an S3 bucket in a single AWS Region and needs end users across multiple continents to upload large files directly to that bucket over the public internet. They cannot deploy physical devices or set up dedicated network links and want a managed feature that improves long‑distance upload performance by leveraging AWS edge locations. Which option should they choose?

Correct Answer: S3 Transfer Acceleration

S3 Transfer Acceleration speeds up long‑distance uploads to Amazon S3 by routing traffic through AWS edge locations onto the AWS backbone, reducing latency and improving throughput for globally distributed clients without requiring hardware or dedicated links. S3 Inventory reports on objects, S3 Lifecycle manages transitions and expirations, and S3 Storage Class Analysis (Analytics-Cost) provides cost/usage insights; none of these improve transfer speed.
