A developer is writing a script to interact with ECS using the REST API. The script needs to create a new bucket and then upload an object to it. The developer has the ECS endpoint URL, an access key, and a secret key. What is the correct way to authenticate the REST API requests?

Use HTTP Basic authentication by setting the 'Authorization' header to 'Basic base64(access_key:secret_key)'.

Obtain a session token by calling the 'ecs auth' endpoint and include it in the 'X-Auth-Token' header.

Include the access key and secret key in the HTTP headers 'X-ECS-Access-Key' and 'X-ECS-Secret-Key' for each request.

Generate a signed request using AWS Signature Version 4, including the access key in the 'Authorization' header and the secret key to sign the request.

What information is typically required when configuring the ECS CLI for the first time to connect to an ECS system?

ECS endpoint URL, access key, and secret key

GeoDrive profile name and mount point

ECS management console password and username

Which ECS CLI feature is most suitable for uploading a large number of files in a single command?

Sequential upload using a for loop in a shell script

Batch upload using a wildcard pattern

Single object upload with a large file size

What is a recommended best practice when handling transient errors (e.g., HTTP 503) in ECS REST API calls?

Change the authentication method and retry

Retry the request with exponential backoff

Ignore the error and continue with the next operation

Immediately retry the request 10 times in a loop
