A systems engineer deployed containers from several custom-built images that an application team provided through a QA workflow The systems engineer used Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) with the Fargate launch type as the target platform The system engineer now needs to collect logs from all containers into an existing Amazon CloudWatch log group.

Which solution will meet this requirement?

  1. Turn on the awslogs log driver by specifying parameters for awslogs-group and awslogs-region m the LogConfiguration property.
  2. Download and configure the CloudWatch agent on the container instances.
  3. Set up Fluent Bit and FluentO as a DaemonSet to send logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.
  4. Configure an 1AM policy that includes the togs CreateLogGroup action Assign the policy to the container instances.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The AWS documentation states that you can use the awslogs log driver to send log information to CloudWatch Logs. To use this method, you specify the parameters for awslogs-group and awslogs-

region in the LogConfiguration property of the container definition. This method is the easiest way to send logs to CloudWatch Logs.

A company receives a notification from the AWS Abuse team about an AWS account The notification indicates that a resource in the account is compromised The company determines that the compromised resource is an Amazon EC2 instance that hosts a web application The compromised EC2 instance is part of an EC2 Auto Scaling group.

The EC2 instance accesses Amazon S3 and Amazon DynamoDB resources by using an 1AM access key and secret key The 1AM access key and secret key are stored inside the AMI that is specified in the Auto Scaling group's launch configuration The company is concerned that the credentials that are stored in the AMI might also have been exposed.

The company must implement a solution that remediates the security concerns without causing downtime for the application The solution must comply with security best practices.

Which solution will meet these requirements'?

  1. Rotate the potentially compromised access key that the EC2 instance uses Create a new AM I without the potentially compromised credentials Perform an EC2 Auto Scaling instance refresh.
  2. Delete or deactivate the potentially compromised access key Create an EC2 Auto Scaling linked 1AM role that includes a custom policy that matches the potentially compromised access key permission Associate the new 1AM role with the Auto Scaling group Perform an EC2 Auto Scaling instance refresh.
  3. Delete or deactivate the potentially compromised access key Create a new AMI without the potentially compromised credentials Create an 1AM role that includes the correct permissions Create a launch template for the Auto Scaling group to reference the new AMI and 1AM role Perform an EC2 Auto Scaling instance refresh.
  4. Rotate the potentially compromised access key Create a new AMI without the potentially compromised access key Use a user data script to supply the new access key as environmental variables in the Auto Scaling group's launch configuration Perform an EC2 Auto Scaling instance refresh.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The AWS documentation states that you can create a new AMI without the potentially compromised credentials and create an 1AM role that includes the correct permissions. You can then create a launch template for the Auto Scaling group to reference the new AMI and 1AM role. This method is the most secure way to remediate the security concerns without causing downtime for the application.

A company is building a data processing application that uses AWS Lambda functions The application's Lambda functions need to communicate with an Amazon RDS OB instance that is deployed within a VPC in the same AWS account.

Which solution meets these requirements in the MOST secure way?

  1. Configure the DB instance to allow public access Update the DB instance security group to allow access from the Lambda public address space for the AWS Region.
  2. Deploy the Lambda functions inside the VPC Attach a network ACL to the Lambda subnet Provide outbound rule access to the VPC CIDR range only Update the DB instance security group to allow traffic from 0 0 0
  3. Deploy the Lambda functions inside the VPC Attach a security group to the Lambda functions Provide outbound rule access to the VPC CIDR range only Update the DB instance security group to allow traffic from the Lambda security group.
  4. Peer the Lambda default VPC with the VPC that hosts the DB instance to allow direct network access without the need for security groups.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The AWS documentation states that you can deploy the Lambda functions inside the VPC and attach a security group to the Lambda functions. You can then provide outbound rule access to the VPC CIDR range only and update the DB instance security group to allow traffic from the Lambda security group. This method is the most secure way to meet the requirements.

A company's security engineer wants to receive an email alert whenever Amazon GuardDuty, AWS Identity and Access Management Access Analyzer, or Amazon Made generate a high-severity security finding. The company uses AWS Control Tower to govern all of its accounts. The company also uses AWS Security Hub with all of the AWS service integrations turned on.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

  1. Set up separate AWS Lambda functions for GuardDuty, 1AM Access Analyzer, and Macie to call each service's public API to retrieve high-severity findings. Use Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to send the email alerts. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule to invoke the functions on a schedule.
  2. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule with a pattern that matches Security Hub findings events with high severity. Configure the rule to send the findings to a target Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic. Subscribe the desired email addresses to the SNS topic.
  3. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule with a pattern that matches AWS Control Tower events with high severity. Configure the rule to send the findings to a target Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic. Subscribe the desired email addresses to the SNS topic.
  4. Host an application on Amazon EC2 to call the GuardDuty, 1AM Access Analyzer, and Macie APIs.
    Within the application, use the Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) API to retrieve high-severity findings and to send the findings to an SNS topic. Subscribe the desired email addresses to the SNS topic.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The AWS documentation states that you can create an Amazon EventBridge rule with a pattern that matches Security Hub findings events with high severity. You can then configure the rule to send the findings to a target Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic. You can subscribe the desired email addresses to the SNS topic. This method is the least operational overhead way to meet the requirements.
