Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Region-compliant S3 buckets with restricted IAM access and encryption
Why this is correct
Ensuring data residency (Region), access control (IAM), and encryption (KMS) is mandatory for GDPR compliance.
- ✗
Publicly accessible S3 buckets
Why it's wrong here
Public buckets are a security violation.
- ✗
Temporary local storage on the training instance
Why it's wrong here
Training instances are ephemeral; data should be stored in durable, compliant storage.
- ✗
DynamoDB tables
Why it's wrong here
Fine-tuning typically requires file-based input (S3), not NoSQL table formats.
