You have a data lifecycle policy that transitions objects from Standard to Standard-IA after 30 days, then to Glacier after 90 days. After 100 days, you notice some objects are still in Standard-IA. What could explain this?

AThe transition to Glacier requires manual approval.

BStandard-IA does not support lifecycle transitions to Glacier.

CObjects are locked by a legal hold preventing transition.

DObjects smaller than 128 KB cannot transition to Glacier.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand lifecycle transitions
Standard-IA supports transitions to Glacier automatically.
Step 2: Consider legal holds
Legal holds prevent object transitions or deletions.
Step 3: Check object size rules
Objects smaller than 128 KB can transition but may incur costs.
Final Answer:
Objects are locked by a legal hold preventing transition. -> Option C
Quick Check:
Legal holds block lifecycle transitions [OK]

Quick Trick: Legal holds prevent lifecycle transitions [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Believing Standard-IA blocks transitions
Thinking manual approval is needed
Assuming small objects cannot transition
