      }
    }
  ]
}

The exhibit shows an S3 bucket policy. What is the effect of this policy?

⚠ Common exam trap

The trap here is that candidates see the `Deny` statement and assume the entire policy denies all actions, overlooking the `Allow` statement that permits specific actions over HTTPS.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Allows only GetObject and PutObject over HTTPS.

The S3 bucket policy in the exhibit uses a condition key `aws:SecureTransport` set to `true`, which restricts access to HTTPS only. The `Effect` is `Allow` for `s3:GetObject` and `s3:PutObject` actions, meaning only these two actions are permitted over HTTPS. This matches option D.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
Allows all S3 actions over HTTPS only.
Why it's wrong here
Only GetObject and PutObject are allowed, not all actions.
✗
Allows all S3 actions to the bucket over any protocol.
Why it's wrong here
Deny statement blocks HTTP.
✗
Denies all S3 actions to the bucket.
Why it's wrong here
Allows HTTPS.
✓
Allows only GetObject and PutObject over HTTPS.
Why this is correct
Explicit allow for those actions over HTTPS; deny for HTTP.
