Which S3 feature should the company use to meet these requirements?
S3 Lifecycle rules
S3 Versioning
S3 bucket policies
S3 server-side encryption
Explanations:
S3 Lifecycle rules are used to manage the lifecycle of objects in S3, such as transitioning to cheaper storage classes or deleting objects after a certain period. They do not prevent accidental deletion or overwriting of data.
S3 Versioning allows you to keep multiple versions of an object in the same bucket. If an object is accidentally deleted or overwritten, you can restore it from a previous version, thus protecting against accidental loss of data.
S3 bucket policies are used to define permissions and access control for the bucket and its objects. While they can restrict who can delete or overwrite objects, they do not provide a mechanism to recover data once it is deleted or overwritten.
S3 server-side encryption protects data at rest by encrypting it, but it does not provide any protection against accidental deletion or overwriting. Data can still be lost if an object is deleted or overwritten, regardless of encryption.
