When performing an audit on an S3 bucket, a SysOps Administrator discovered that Amazon CloudWatch reports that there are 12,345,678 objects in the bucket, whereas the AWS CLI reports that there are 98,765,432 objects in the same bucket.
Which Amazon S3 feature can the SysOps Administrator use to obtain the definitive answer to the number of objects in the bucket?
Amazon S3 analytics
Amazon S3 inventory
AWS Management Console
Object tags
Explanations:
Amazon S3 analytics helps with storage optimization and access pattern insights, not object count.
Amazon S3 inventory provides detailed metadata and can be used to generate reports on object counts, ensuring accurate results.
The AWS Management Console may not show an accurate object count in large buckets due to pagination and other limitations.
Object tags are used for categorization and filtering but don’t provide a direct way to count objects.
As I recall, the answer is:
Amazon S3 inventory
