S3 replication is running to a recovery Region and someone deletes an object in the source bucket. What happens to the replica?

  1. It is deleted at the same time
  2. It is moved to S3 Glacier Deep Archive
  3. It is deleted after the replication window expires
  4. It survives, because the delete marker is added in the source bucket only
Show the answer

Answer: D. It survives, because the delete marker is added in the source bucket only

By default S3 adds the delete marker in the source bucket alone, which is what protects the recovery copy from a malicious deletion.
