Hi gp24,
Thank you for pointing out the discrepancy.
The answer marked as correct (Option 1) suggests enabling versioning and setting up a lifecycle rule for archiving to S3 Glacier Deep Archive. While this approach does satisfy the requirements for preserving previous file versions and archival, it might not fully address the regulatory compliance aspect as strictly as Option 3, which includes S3 Object Lock in compliance mode.
Regulatory compliance often demands more stringent controls, such as preventing deletions or modifications of objects. While Option 1 provides file versioning and lifecycle management, it does not include Object Lock, which is crucial for ensuring that data cannot be altered or deleted within the retention period. Hence, Option 3 should be the more appropriate answer when compliance is a key requirement.
We will update this information on our portal to ensure it reflects the most accurate and up-to-date guidance.
If you have any further thoughts or questions, feel free to discuss them—I’m happy to assist!
Cheers,
