I'm surprised this is even a question, all of them should be encrypted!

I think we had a question about archives and encryption, but I can't remember if they were as critical as the other options.

I feel like backups are crucial too, but I can't recall if they were specifically mentioned in our practice questions.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think data at rest should also be encrypted to protect it from unauthorized access.

I remember we discussed that data in transit is really important to encrypt, especially to prevent interception.

Ooh, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards C - data backups. When you're moving to the cloud, you want to make sure all your data is properly secured, including any backups or archives. But I could also see the argument for B - data at rest. I'll have to weigh the options carefully.

I think the answer is B - data at rest. When you're migrating an application to the cloud, the main concern is protecting the sensitive data stored in the application, which would be the data at rest. Encrypting the data in transit is also important, but that's a separate security measure.

This one seems pretty straightforward. The key is to protect the PII data, so I'd say the answer is B - data at rest.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know we need to encrypt the PII data, but I'm not 100% certain if that means just the data at rest or if we need to encrypt the data in transit as well. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, this question seems to be testing my understanding of the Service Statelessness principle. I'll need to think carefully about the relationship between state data and service activity.

I remember discussing a similar question in practice, and the implied discount approach might work, but I'm uncertain if a DSA is the most compelling solution here.

D) Data archives? What is this, a trick question? Of course you need to encrypt the data at rest, that's cloud security 101.

I agree with Buck, encrypting both data in transit and data at rest is important to protect sensitive information.

I'd go with C) Data backups as well. You don't want those falling into the wrong hands either. Gotta cover all your bases when dealing with PII in the cloud.

A) Data in transit is also important, but I agree that encrypting data at rest is the top priority here. Can't be too careful with people's sensitive info.
