Amazon SAA-C03 Exam - Topic 6 Question 30 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's SAA-C03 exam
Question #: 30
Topic #: 6
[All SAA-C03 Questions]

A company is building a new web-based customer relationship management application. The application will use several Amazon EC2 instances that are backed by Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The application will also use an Amazon Aurora database. All data for the application must be encrypted at rest and in transit.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A: How do you protect your data in transit?

Best Practices:

Implement secure key and certificate management: Store encryption keys and certificates securely and rotate them at appropriate time intervals while applying strict access control; for example, by using a certificate management service, such as AWS Certificate Manager (ACM).

Enforce encryption in transit: Enforce your defined encryption requirements based on appropriate standards and recommendations to help you meet your organizational, legal, and compliance requirements.

Automate detection of unintended data access: Use tools such as GuardDuty to automatically detect attempts to move data outside of defined boundaries based on data classification level, for example, to detect a trojan that is copying data to an unknown or untrusted network using the DNS protocol.

Authenticate network communications: Verify the identity of communications by using protocols that support authentication, such as Transport Layer Security (TLS) or IPsec.

Definitely not B, using the root account for everything is a bad idea.

Wait, can you really use the root account for that? Seems risky!

I vaguely recall that BitLocker is more for Windows environments, so option D might not be the best fit for AWS.

I think option C sounds familiar because we discussed using AWS KMS for EBS and Aurora encryption in class.

I'm not sure about using the root account to turn on encryption for the whole account. That doesn't seem like the most secure or recommended approach. I'll focus on the individual service-level encryption options.

Option A looks good to me. Using KMS and ACM to handle the encryption requirements seems like a reliable and integrated solution. I'll make sure I understand how those services work together.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the different encryption options here. I'll need to review the details of AWS KMS, ACM, and how they work with the various AWS services mentioned in the question.

This seems like a straightforward encryption question. I think option C is the best approach - using AWS KMS to encrypt the EBS volumes and Aurora database, and ACM for the ALB certificate.

This question feels similar to one we did in practice about functionality in services. I think it's "orchestrated task", but I'm not entirely certain.

I'm a bit confused here. Does the user need full access (read, write, and execute) on both folders to be able to compare the mappings? Or is read permission alone sufficient?

I practiced a similar question on Aviatrix's features last week, and I'm leaning towards D, the AWS TGW Orchestrator. It just seems to fit.

Haha, nice try with the BitLocker option, but I don't think that's gonna fly in an AWS environment. C is the clear winner here.
