SAP-C02 Practice Question: Accelerate Workload Migration and Modernization

This SAP-C02 practice question tests your understanding of accelerate workload migration and modernization. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.

```json
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:GetObject",
        "s3:PutObject"
      ],
      "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket/*"
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Deny",
      "Action": "s3:*",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket/secret/*",
      "Condition": {
        "IpAddress": {
          "aws:SourceIp": "10.0.0.0/8"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

Refer to the exhibit. An IAM policy is attached to an IAM user. The user tries to upload an object to `s3://my-bucket/secret/data.txt` from an IP address in the 10.0.0.0/8 range. What will happen?

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

✓

The upload fails because the Deny statement explicitly denies s3:PutObject for the prefix secret/ from the specified IP range.

Option B is correct. The Deny statement explicitly denies s3:PutObject (part of s3:*) for the prefix secret/ when the source IP is in 10.0.0.0/8. Since the condition matches, the Deny overrides the Allow. Option A is wrong because the Deny applies. Option C is wrong because the Deny is conditional, not unconditional. Option D is wrong because there is no explicit Deny for other IPs, but the condition applies to the user's IP.

Key principle: ACLs process entries top to bottom and stop at the first match. Entry order and interface direction matter as much as the permit or deny statement.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • ✗

    The upload succeeds because the Allow statement grants s3:PutObject.

    Why it's wrong here

    The Deny overrides the Allow when conditions match.

  • ✗

    The upload succeeds because the Deny statement only applies to GetObject, not PutObject.

    Why it's wrong here

    Deny uses s3:* which includes PutObject.

  • ✗

    The upload fails because the Deny statement denies all s3 actions unconditionally.

    Why it's wrong here

    The Deny is conditional on the IP address.

  • ✓

    The upload fails because the Deny statement explicitly denies s3:PutObject for the prefix secret/ from the specified IP range.

    Why this is correct

    Deny overrides Allow, and conditions match.

    Related concept

    Standard ACLs match source addresses.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: ACLs stop at the first match

ACLs are processed top to bottom. The first matching entry wins, and an implicit deny usually exists at the end.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

ACL questions test precision: source, destination, protocol, port and direction. A generally correct ACL can still fail if it is applied on the wrong interface or in the wrong direction.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Standard ACLs match source addresses.
  • Extended ACLs can match source, destination, protocol and ports.
  • The first matching ACL entry is used.
  • There is usually an implicit deny at the end.

TExam Day Tips

  • Check inbound versus outbound direction.
  • Read the ACL from top to bottom.
  • Look for a broader permit or deny above the intended line.

Key takeaway

ACLs process entries top to bottom and stop at the first match. Entry order and interface direction matter as much as the permit or deny statement.

Real-world example

How this comes up in practice

A media company stores terabytes of video archives that are accessed once a year for audit purposes. Moving these objects to a cold storage tier (Azure Archive, S3 Glacier, or Google Nearline) costs a fraction of hot storage. Questions like this test whether you understand storage tiers, access frequency tradeoffs, and retrieval latency requirements.

What to study next

Got this wrong? Here's your next step.

Review ACL processing order, placement rules (standard near destination, extended near source), and inbound vs outbound direction. Study wildcard masks and implicit deny. Then practise related SAP-C02 ACL questions on filtering logic and placement.
