Question

A developer is building a media application where users upload video files that can exceed 5 GB. Uploads occasionally fail midway due to unstable network connections, forcing users to restart the entire transfer. The developer wants to improve upload reliability and performance for these large objects using the AWS SDK. Which approach best addresses these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Use S3 multipart upload to split each file into parts that upload in parallel and can be retried individually.

Answer

Use a single PutObject call and configure the SDK with a longer socket timeout to accommodate the large file size.

Answer

Enable S3 Transfer Acceleration and upload the entire file in one request through the accelerated endpoint.

Answer

Compress the video client-side before a single PutObject call to reduce the payload below the failure threshold.
