Why might an S3 lifecycle rule with a transition to Glacier not immediately move objects after the specified days?

hard📝 Conceptual Q10 of 15

AWS - S3 Fundamentals

ABecause objects must be manually approved for transition

BBecause S3 lifecycle transitions are processed asynchronously and may take up to 24 hours

CBecause transition only works on objects larger than 1 GB

DBecause lifecycle rules require versioning enabled to work

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand lifecycle processing timing
S3 lifecycle transitions are not instant; AWS processes them asynchronously and can take up to 24 hours.
Step 2: Exclude incorrect reasons
No manual approval needed; size does not restrict transition; versioning is optional for lifecycle rules.
Final Answer:
Because S3 lifecycle transitions are processed asynchronously and may take up to 24 hours -> Option B
Quick Check:
Lifecycle transitions are asynchronous, not immediate [OK]

Quick Trick: Lifecycle transitions can take up to 24 hours to apply [OK]
