The Operations team has created multiple snapshots for the Amazon EBS volumes using Data Lifecycle Manager. These snapshots are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. They want to seek your guidance to read the contents of the snapshot so that only a particular snapshot can be used to create volume.
Which of the following can be used to read the contents of Amazon EBS snapshots effectively?

Answer options:

A.Use Data Lifecycle Manager to read contents of the snapshots.
B.Check the Amazon S3 bucket to which snapshot is stored and read contents of the snapshot using GETAPI. 
C.Use Amazon EBS Direct API to read content of the snapshot.
D.Create a new volume from the snapshot and read the contents of the volume by attaching it to an Amazon EC2 instance.

Correct Answer: C
Amazon EBS direct APIs can be used to create EBS snapshots, write data directly to snapshots, read data from snapshots, and identify the difference between two snapshots.
Option A is incorrect as Data Lifecycle Manager cannot be used to read contents within snapshots.
Option B is incorrect as EBS snapshots stored in Amazon S3 are not directly accessible from the S3 console.
Option D is incorrect as creating volumes from the snapshot requires additional administrative work.
