Amazon SCS-C02 Exam - Topic 9 Question 38 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's SCS-C02 exam

Question #: 38
Topic #: 9

A developer operations team uses AWS Identity and Access Management (1AM) to manage user permissions The team created an Amazon EC2 instance profile role that uses an AWS managed Readonly Access policy. When an application that is running on Amazon EC2 tries to read a file from an encrypted Amazon S3 bucket, the application receives an AccessDenied error.

The team administrator has verified that the S3 bucket policy allows everyone in the account to access the S3 bucket. There is no object ACL that is attached to the file.

What should the administrator do to fix the 1AM access issue?

AEdit the ReadOnlyAccess policy to add kms:Decrypt actions.

BAdd the EC2 1AM role as the authorized Principal to the S3 bucket policy.

CAttach an inline policy with kms Decrypt permissions to the 1AM role

DAttach an inline policy with S3: * permissions to the 1AM role.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Utilizing CloudFront signed cookies is the simplest and most effective way to protect HLS video content for paying subscribers. Signed cookies provide access control for multiple files, such as video chunks in HLS streaming, without the need to generate a signed URL for each video chunk. This method simplifies the process for long video events with thousands of chunks, enhancing user experience while ensuring content protection.

Just adding S3:* seems too broad, not a fan of option D.

I disagree, I’d go with option C for more control.

Isn't it weird that the bucket policy allows access but still gets denied?

Sounds like a KMS issue, definitely need kms:Decrypt.

I’m a bit confused about whether we need to give broader S3 permissions or just focus on KMS. Option D seems too broad, but I guess it could work?

I practiced a similar question where we had to add permissions for KMS decryption. I feel like option C could be the way to go here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think adding the EC2 IAM role to the S3 bucket policy could help. That sounds like option B, right?

I remember reading that KMS permissions are crucial for accessing encrypted S3 objects, so option A might be the right choice.

This seems straightforward enough. I'd go with option A and add the kms:Decrypt action to the ReadOnlyAccess policy. That should resolve the access issue without needing to make any changes to the S3 bucket policy.

Based on the information provided, I think the best approach would be to edit the ReadOnlyAccess policy to add the kms:Decrypt action. That should give the IAM role the necessary permissions to access the encrypted S3 bucket.

I'm a bit confused here. The bucket policy allows everyone in the account to access the bucket, so I'm not sure why the IAM role is still getting an AccessDenied error. Maybe I'm missing something.

Okay, let's see. The issue seems to be with the IAM role not having the right permissions to decrypt the encrypted S3 bucket. I think option C might be the way to go.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the IAM permissions and S3 bucket policies carefully.

I bet the administrator is wishing they had a magic 8-ball to tell them the right answer. Luckily, Option C is the clear choice here.

This is a classic case of 'the answer is always in the question'. The IAM role needs the KMS decrypt permission, so Option C is the correct answer. Easy peasy!

Haha, looks like the administrator forgot to give the IAM role the right permissions. Option C is the way to fix this, no need to go messing with the S3 bucket policy.

Yeah, attaching an inline policy with kms Decrypt permissions to the 1AM role should do the trick.

I'm pretty sure the S3 bucket policy is not the problem here. The IAM role needs the correct permissions to access the encrypted S3 object, which means we need to add the KMS decrypt action.
