Amazon SAP-C02 Exam - Topic 11 Question 28 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's SAP-C02 exam
Question #: 28
Topic #: 11
[All SAP-C02 Questions]

A company's compliance audit reveals that some Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes that were created in an AWS account were not encrypted. A solutions architect must Implement a solution to encrypt all new EBS volumes at rest

Which solution will meet this requirement with the LEAST effort?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The most effortless way to ensure that all new Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes are encrypted at rest is to enable EBS encryption by default in all AWS Regions. This setting automatically encrypts all new EBS volumes and snapshots created in the account, thereby ensuring compliance with encryption policies without the need for manual intervention or additional monitoring.

I’m not sure about B, does it really handle encryption automatically?

Wait, can you really just delete unencrypted volumes? Sounds risky!

I vaguely recall that AWS Audit Manager is more about auditing than enforcing encryption, so it might not be the right choice here.

I practiced a similar question where we had to enforce compliance, and I feel like the EventBridge and Lambda option could be overkill for just new volumes.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think using AWS Config might be more complex than just setting a default.

I remember studying about EBS encryption, and I think enabling encryption by default is the simplest way to ensure all new volumes are encrypted.

I like the idea of using AWS Config and Systems Manager Automation (option C) to automate the encryption process. That seems like it would be the most efficient and least effort solution, as long as the automation is set up correctly.

Option D seems like the easiest solution, just turning on EBS encryption by default in all regions. But I'm not sure if that would address the existing unencrypted volumes, so I might need to look into the other options as well.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question is asking for the solution with the least effort, so I'm not sure if deleting the volumes and then recreating them encrypted (option A) is the best approach. I'll need to think this through a bit more.

This looks like a straightforward question about encrypting EBS volumes. I think option C is the best solution, as it uses AWS Config to detect new unencrypted volumes and then automates the encryption process using AWS Systems Manager.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'm trying to remember if there are any other options besides IAM credentials that CSPM could use. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I've got a strategy for this. I'll eliminate the options that don't directly address the bottleneck, then choose the best one.

The S-PMSI A-D route... I remember learning about that in class, but the details are a bit fuzzy. I'll give it my best shot.
