A SysOps administrator configures an Amazon S3 gateway endpoint in a VPC. The private subnets inside the VPC do not have outbound internet access. User logs in to an Amazon EC2 instance in one of the private subnets and cannot upload a file to an Amazon S3 bucket in the same AWS Region.
Which solution will solve this problem?

  1. Update the EC2 instance role policy to include s3:PutObject access to the target S3 bucket.
  2. Update the EC2 security group to allow outbound traffic to 0.0.0.0/0 for port 80.
  3. Update the EC2 subnet route table to include the S3 prefix list destination routes to the S3 gateway endpoint.
  4. Update the S3 bucket policy to allow s3:PutObject access from the private subnet CIDR block.

A company manages a set of accounts on AWS by using AWS Organizations. The company's security team wants to use a native AWS service to regularly scan all AWS accounts against the Center for Internet Security (CIS) AWS Foundations Benchmark.
What is the MOST operationally efficient way to meet these requirements?

  1. Designate a central security account as the AWS Security Hub administrator account. Create a script that sends an invitation from the Security Hub administrator account and accepts the invitation from the member account. Run the script every time a new account is created. Configure Security Hub to run the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark scans.
  2. Run the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark across all accounts by using Amazon Inspector.
  3. Designate a central security account as the Amazon GuardDuty administrator account. Create a script that sends an invitation from the GuardDuty administrator account and accepts the invitation from the member account. Run the script every time a new account is created. Configure GuardDuty to run the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark scans.
  4. Designate an AWS Security Hub administrator account. Configure new accounts in the organization to automatically become member accounts. Enable CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark scans.

A SysOps administrator needs to collect the content of log files from a custom application that is deployed across hundreds of Amazon EC2 instances running Ubuntu. The log files need to be stored in Amazon CloudWatch Logs.
How should the SysOps administrator collect the application log files with the LOWEST operational overhead?

  1. Configure the syslogd service on each EC2 instance to collect and send the application log files to CloudWatch Logs.
  2. Install the CloudWatch agent by using the Amazon Linux package manager on each EC2 instance. Configure each agent to collect the application log files.
  3. Install the CloudWatch agent on each EC2 instance by using AWS Systems Manager. Create an agent configuration on each instance by using the CloudWatch configuration wizard. Configure each agent to collect the application log files.
  4. Store a CloudWatch agent configuration in the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store. Install the CloudWatch agent on each EC2 instance by using Systems Manager. Configure each agent to collect the application log files.
