AWS - Cost Optimization

AThe bucket versioning is not enabled, preventing lifecycle transitions to GLACIER

BThe lifecycle rule is missing the 'Status' set to 'Enabled'

CThe objects are encrypted with a customer-managed key that prevents transitions

DThe transition period is set to 60 days, but the objects are younger than 60 days

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check lifecycle rule status
Lifecycle rules must be enabled to take effect.
Step 2: Verify other causes
Versioning is not required for transitions; encryption does not block transitions; object age must be >= 60 days.
Final Answer:
The lifecycle rule is missing the 'Status' set to 'Enabled' -> Option B
Quick Check:
Lifecycle rules must be enabled [OK]

Quick Trick: Lifecycle rules must be enabled to work [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Assuming versioning is required for transitions
Ignoring lifecycle rule status
Misunderstanding encryption impact on transitions
