A solutions architect is reviewing the above IAM policy attached to an S3 bucket. A user from IP address 10.0.1.5 makes a request over HTTP (not HTTPS). Will the user be able to download an object?

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

✓

No, because the request is not using HTTPS.

The Deny statement with aws:SecureTransport=false explicitly denies requests that are not using HTTPS. Even though the Allow statement permits the IP range, the Deny overrides it. Therefore, the request is denied.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

✗
No, because the IP address is not in the allowed range.
Why it's wrong here
The IP address is in the range 10.0.0.0/8.
✗
Yes, because the IP address is allowed.
Why it's wrong here
The Deny overrides the Allow.
