Certified Heroku Architecture Designer Exam - Question 22


Universal Containers (UC) has expressed a desire to have encryption-at-rest enabled on their Heroku Postgres databases.

Which three tiers would UC need to use to have that feature enabled? (Choose three.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: ADE

To enable encryption-at-rest on Heroku Postgres databases, Universal Containers would need to use the following tiers: Private, Shield, and Premium. The Private tier offers enhanced security and compliance features, including encryption-at-rest. The Shield tier is specifically designed for applications requiring the highest levels of compliance, and it also includes encryption-at-rest by default. The Premium tier provides high availability and performance along with encryption features. The Standard and Hobby tiers do not offer the enhanced security features needed for encryption-at-rest.

Isn't the question around enabling it? As its already enabled by default on Shield I would say correct answers are only A, B and E.
