Full question →hardmulti selectObjective-mapped
A latency-sensitive mobile game backend uploads large files to S3 from users around the world. Which two features can improve upload performance? The design must avoid adding custom operational scripts.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.
A
Distractor review
S3 Object Lock
Object Lock enforces retention and does not speed uploads.
B
Best answer
S3 multipart upload
Multipart upload parallelizes large object upload parts and improves reliability.
C
Distractor review
S3 Inventory
Inventory reports object metadata and does not accelerate transfers.
D
Best answer
S3 Transfer Acceleration
Transfer Acceleration uses optimized edge paths into AWS for long-distance S3 transfers.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
