Question 1 of 404

A company is implementing an application on Amazon EC2 instances. The application needs to process incoming transactions. When the application detects a transaction that is not valid, the application must send a chat message to the company's support team. To send the message, the application needs to retrieve the access token to authenticate by using the chat API.

A developer needs to implement a solution to store the access token. The access token must be encrypted at rest and in transit. The access token must also be accessible from other AWS accounts.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST management overhead?

A.

Use an AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store SecureString parameter that uses an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) AWS managed key to store the access token. Add a resource-based policy to the parameter to allow access from other accounts. Update the IAM role of the EC2 instances with permissions to access Parameter Store. Retrieve the token from Parameter Store with the decrypt flag enabled. Use the decrypted access token to send the message to the chat.

B.

Encrypt the access token by using an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer managed key. Store the access token in an Amazon DynamoDB table. Update the IAM role of the EC2 instances with permissions to access DynamoDB and AWS KMS. Retrieve the token from DynamoDDecrypt the token by using AWS KMS on the EC2 instances. Use the decrypted access token to send the message to the chat.

C.

Use AWS Secrets Manager with an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer managed key to store the access token. Add a resource-based policy to the secret to allow access from other accounts. Update the IAM role of the EC2 instances with permissions to access Secrets Manager. Retrieve the token from Secrets Manager. Use the decrypted access token to send the message to the chat.

D.

Encrypt the access token by using an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) AWS managed key. Store the access token in an Amazon S3 bucket. Add a bucket policy to the S3 bucket to allow access from other accounts. Update the IAM role of the EC2 instances with permissions to access Amazon S3 and AWS KMS. Retrieve the token from the S3 bucket. Decrypt the token by using AWS KMS on the EC2 instances. Use the decrypted access token to send the massage to the chat.

Correct Answer: C

The access token must be stored securely, both at rest and in transit, and it must be accessible from other AWS accounts with minimal management overhead. AWS Secrets Manager is designed specifically for managing secrets like access tokens and provides built-in encryption using AWS KMS. It also supports resource-based policies that allow access from other accounts, which aligns perfectly with the requirement. Additionally, Secrets Manager automates many aspects of secret management, including rotation, which reduces management overhead compared to other services. This makes AWS Secrets Manager the most appropriate choice.

Question 2 of 404

A company is running Amazon EC2 instances in multiple AWS accounts. A developer needs to implement an application that collects all the lifecycle events of the EC2 instances. The application needs to store the lifecycle events in a single Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue in the company's main AWS account for further processing.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

A.

Configure Amazon EC2 to deliver the EC2 instance lifecycle events from all accounts to the Amazon EventBridge event bus of the main account. Add an EventBridge rule to the event bus of the main account that matches all EC2 instance lifecycle events. Add the SQS queue as a target of the rule.

B.

Use the resource policies of the SQS queue in the main account to give each account permissions to write to that SQS queue. Add to the Amazon EventBridge event bus of each account an EventBridge rule that matches all EC2 instance lifecycle events. Add the SQS queue in the main account as a target of the rule.

C.

Write an AWS Lambda function that scans through all EC2 instances in the company accounts to detect EC2 instance lifecycle changes. Configure the Lambda function to write a notification message to the SQS queue in the main account if the function detects an EC2 instance lifecycle change. Add an Amazon EventBridge scheduled rule that invokes the Lambda function every minute.

D.

Configure the permissions on the main account event bus to receive events from all accounts. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule in each account to send all the EC2 instance lifecycle events to the main account event bus. Add an EventBridge rule to the main account event bus that matches all EC2 instance lifecycle events. Set the SQS queue as a target for the rule.

Correct Answer: D

The best solution is to configure the permissions on the main account's event bus to receive events from all accounts. An Amazon EventBridge rule should be created in each account to send all the EC2 instance lifecycle events to the main account's event bus. Then, within the main account's event bus, an EventBridge rule should be set up to match all EC2 instance lifecycle events and target the SQS queue. This approach leverages EventBridge’s cross-account event sharing capabilities, ensures centralization of event management, and does not introduce unnecessary complexity or inefficiency.

Question 3 of 404

An application is using Amazon Cognito user pools and identity pools for secure access. A developer wants to integrate the user-specific file upload and download features in the application with Amazon S3. The developer must ensure that the files are saved and retrieved in a secure manner and that users can access only their own files. The file sizes range from 3 KB to 300 MB.

Which option will meet these requirements with the HIGHEST level of security?

A.

Use S3 Event Notifications to validate the file upload and download requests and update the user interface (UI).

B.

Save the details of the uploaded files in a separate Amazon DynamoDB table. Filter the list of files in the user interface (UI) by comparing the current user ID with the user ID associated with the file in the table.

C.

Use Amazon API Gateway and an AWS Lambda function to upload and download files. Validate each request in the Lambda function before performing the requested operation.

D.

Use an IAM policy within the Amazon Cognito identity prefix to restrict users to use their own folders in Amazon S3.

Correct Answer: D

To ensure that only authenticated users can access their own files using Amazon Cognito user pools and identity pools, and to maintain the highest level of security, utilizing IAM policies within the Amazon Cognito identity prefix is the optimal approach. By implementing this IAM policy, each user is restricted to accessing only their personalized folders in Amazon S3, ensuring file security and user-specific access control. This method leverages AWS's built-in security mechanisms, which are robust and reliable, to enforce strict access rules, thereby mitigating potential risks associated with custom-built solutions or additional overhead in managing external tables.

Question 4 of 404

A company is building a scalable data management solution by using AWS services to improve the speed and agility of development. The solution will ingest large volumes of data from various sources and will process this data through multiple business rules and transformations.

The solution requires business rules to run in sequence and to handle reprocessing of data if errors occur when the business rules run. The company needs the solution to be scalable and to require the least possible maintenance.

Which AWS service should the company use to manage and automate the orchestration of the data flows to meet these requirements?

A.

AWS Batch

B.

AWS Step Functions

C.

AWS Glue

D.

AWS Lambda

Correct Answer: B

AWS Step Functions is the appropriate service for managing and automating the orchestration of data flows. It allows the execution of business rules in sequence and includes features for error handling and reprocessing of data. This service is designed to build scalable workflows with minimal maintenance, which aligns perfectly with the requirements.

Question 5 of 404

A developer has created an AWS Lambda function that is written in Python. The Lambda function reads data from objects in Amazon S3 and writes data to an Amazon DynamoDB table. The function is successfully invoked from an S3 event notification when an object is created. However, the function fails when it attempts to write to the DynamoDB table.

What is the MOST likely cause of this issue?

A.

The Lambda function's concurrency limit has been exceeded.

B.

DynamoDB table requires a global secondary index (GSI) to support writes.

C.

The Lambda function does not have IAM permissions to write to DynamoDB.

D.

The DynamoDB table is not running in the same Availability Zone as the Lambda function.

Correct Answer: C

The most likely cause of the issue is that the Lambda function does not have IAM permissions to write to DynamoDB. When AWS Lambda functions interact with other AWS services, appropriate IAM permissions are required. If the Lambda function is able to read from S3 but fails when writing to DynamoDB, it indicates that the function's IAM role may lack the necessary permissions for DynamoDB write operations.
