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.
The Deny statement explicitly denies all s3 actions (s3:*) for objects with the prefix secret/ when the source IP is in the 10.0.0.0/8 range. Since the user's IP is in that range and the object path starts with secret/, the Deny applies and overrides the Allow statement. Therefore, the upload fails. Options A and B claim success, which is incorrect. Option C says it fails because the Deny is unconditional, but the Deny is conditional on the IP range and prefix, so C is inaccurate. Option D correctly identifies the explicit Deny for s3:PutObject (which is included in s3:*) under the given conditions.
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.
