Question 8: With which AWS service would you expect to see service quotas regarding the number of buckets, maximum object size, or number of restore requests?

A. S3 Glacier
B. EBS
C. EC2
D. S3

Answer: D. S3. Amazon S3 has specific service quotas such as the maximum number of buckets per account (100 by default), the maximum object size (5 TB), and the number of restore requests for objects stored in archival storage tiers like Glacier.

My take is that it is supposed to be D. S3 but the authors say it is S3 Glacier is a storage class within Amazon S3 used for archival purposes. The mention of restore requests applies specifically to objects stored in Glacier storage classes, but Glacier alone does not manage the number of buckets or object size limits; these are managed by Amazon S3.

what are anyones take on this?

So, this is very typical of certification test questions. The best way to resolve these questions is to try and deconstruct what the question author intends with this question. In this case the question author wants to know if you are aware of the differences between S3 and S3 Glacier. You do not restore from S3, data in S3 is active and usable. Data in Glacier is not active or usable, unless you restore it to S3. Thus only S3 Glacier will have quotas on the number of times you can restore data in a given period.
