S3 Quiz
A company plans to have their application hosted in AWS. This application has users uploading files and then using a public URL for downloading them at a later stage. Which of the following designs would help fulfill this requirement?
A.
Have EBS Volumes hosted on EC2 Instances to store the files.
B.
Use Amazon S3 to host the files.
C.
Use Amazon Glacier to host the files since this would be the cheapest storage option.
D.
Use EBS Snapshots attached to EC2 Instances to store the files.
B. Use Amazon S3 to host the files.
If you need storage for the Internet, AWS Simple Storage Service is the best option. Each uploaded file automatically gets a public URL, which can be used to download the file at a later point in time.

Options A and D are incorrect because EBS Volumes or Snapshots do not have Public URL.
Option C is incorrect because Glacier is mainly used for data archiving purposes.
