AWS Certified Solutions Architect study material · question 148 of 500

Why does AWS advise emptying rather than deleting a general purpose bucket that is no longer used?

  1. Another account could claim the freed name and receive requests meant for it
  2. Deleted buckets continue to incur storage charges
  3. Deleting a bucket removes its CloudTrail history
  4. Bucket names cannot be reused for ninety days
Show the answer

Answer: A. Another account could claim the freed name and receive requests meant for it

Releasing a globally unique name lets another account in the partition create a bucket with it, potentially receiving traffic intended for the old one.
