You are working as a SysOps administrator for a media company. Your company is using Amazon S3 buckets to save video content shared by reporters. For each month, a new bucket is created as an example-bucket-monthname. For the month of July, all these data are stored in bucket name as “example-bucket-july” which has versioning enabled. At the start of a new month, data for last month along with the bucket needs to be deleted to free up space. Which of the following can be used to meet this requirement?

Answer options:

A.Delete bucket example-bucket-july programmatically using AWS SDK.
B.Delete bucket using the command “$ aws s3 rb s3://example-bucket-july --force”
C.Delete bucket using the command “$ aws s3 rb s3:// example-bucket-july”
D.Delete bucket using command “$ aws s3 rm s3:// example-bucket-july --recursive”

Correct Answer: A
Since all the buckets have versioning enabled, the following can be used to delete the S3 bucket.
· Delete the bucket programmatically using the AWS SDK.
· Use the bucket`s lifecycle configuration to request that Amazon S3 delete the objects.
· Use the Amazon S3 console.
Option B is incorrect as this command will not be successful in this case as the S3 bucket has versioning enabled. All content needs to be removed before a bucket is removed.
Option C is incorrect as this command will be successful only if you are deleting a bucket that does not have versioning enabled.
Option D is incorrect as this will remove all objects in a bucket only if the bucket does not have versioning enabled.
