Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 88 discussion

this question is too vague imho if the question is looking for a way to incur charges to the European company instead of the US company, then requester pay makes sense. if they are looking to reduce overall data transfer cost, then B makes sense because the data does not leave the AWS network, thus data transfer cost should be lower technically? A. makes sense because the US company saves money, but the European company is paying for the charges so there is no overall saving in cost when you look at the big picture I will go for B because they are not explicitly stating that they want the other company to pay for the charges

"Typically, you configure buckets to be Requester Pays buckets when you want to share data but not incur charges associated with others accessing the data. For example, you might use Requester Pays buckets when making available large datasets, such as zip code directories, reference data, geospatial information, or web crawling data." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/RequesterPaysBuckets.html

B has actually more cost. A is the answer.

If I understand the question correctly, the owner is already paying to maintain the data (size is still growing) in its S3 bucket. The owner wants to ensure that its data transfer costs remain as low as possible (implies that it is best if the transfer cost is $0). For option A, the requestor will have to bear the cost of the data transfer request from the bucket, with the data owner incurring a $0 transfer cost, which is optimal for the data owner. This question does not state that the original data owner must also consider the cost incurred by the requestor and then find an optimal ways to share the data transfer cost for both parties. My 2 cents' worth.

The company wants to ensure that "its" data transfer costs remain as low as possible, so I choose A

Per my understanding, the company is already paying to maintain the data(data keeps growing) in the S3 bucket. The company wants to ensure that its data transfer costs remain as low as possible (implies that it is best if the transfer cost is $0). As per option A, the requestor would bear the cost of the request and the data downloaded from the bucket, causing the data owner to incur a $0 transfer cost, which is optimal for the data owner. The question does not say that the data owner must also consider the cost incurred by the requestor and then find an optimal cost solution.

No idea but I guess B. request payer sounds like stpd

it's A because the company will not pay extra cost

Ans B... because we want an overall cost-effective solution; A simply offloads the cost to someone else...

replication cost money . in other for the sender company to cut cost the requester must pay the transfer cost .Leveraging the requester pay options is convenient on the part of the company that is sharing .

because in question we are said to reduce our charges not to completely put them on the other organization

Correct A. Configure the Requester Pays feature on the company's S3 bucket. This feature ensures that the party requesting the data pays for the data transfer costs instead of the bucket owner. Incorrect B. Configure S3 Cross-Region Replication from the company's S3 bucket to one of the marketing firm's S3 buckets. Cross-Region Replication incurs additional storage and transfer costs as data is replicated across regions. This would increase costs rather than reduce them.

Option B makes more sense because the data transferred remains within the AWS private network, in my opinion, option A is incorrect because it doesn't reduce the overall transfer charges, it just shifts them from the American company to the European company.

Definitely B

both are part of same company. Option A still incur changes for the company. Option B will help to save some cost sharing the data in both the regions.

Answer: A

100% answer is A. Question doesnt state anything about the other company saving costs, only the US company.
