A company wants to create a log analytics solution for logs generated from its on-premises devices. The logs are collected from the devices onto a server on premises. The company wants to use AWS services to perform near real-time log analysis. The company also wants to store these logs for 365 days for pattern matching and substring search capabilities later.
Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST development overhead?

  1. Install Amazon Kinesis Agent on the on-premises server to send the logs to Amazon DynamoDB. Configure an AWS Lambda trigger on DynamoDB streams to perform near real-time log analysis. Export the DynamoDB data to Amazon S3 periodically. Run Amazon Athena queries for pattern matching and substring search. Set up S3 Lifecycle policies to delete the log data after 365 days.
  2. Install Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) on the on-premises server. Create an MSK cluster to collect the streaming data and analyze the data in real time. Set the data retention period to 365 days to store the logs persistently for pattern matching and substring search.
  3. Install Amazon Kinesis Agent on the on-premises server to send the logs to Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose. Configure Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink (previously known as Amazon Kinesis Data Analytics) as the destination for real-time processing. Store the logs in Amazon OpenSearch Service for pattern matching and substring search. Configure an OpenSearch Service Index State Management (ISM) policy to delete the data after 365 days.
  4. Use Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda to write the logs from the on-premises server to Amazon DynamoDB. Configure a Lambda trigger on DynamoDB streams to perform near real-time log analysis. Run Amazon Athena federated queries on DynamoDB data for pattern matching and substring search. Set up TTL to delete data after 365 days.

Answer(s): C



A company has a large fleet of Linux Amazon EC2 instances and Windows EC2 instances that run in private subnets. The company wants all remote administration to be performed as securely as possible in the AWS Cloud.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Do not use SSH-RSA private keys during the launch of new instances Implement AWS Systems Manager Session Manager
  2. Generate new SSH-RSA private keys for existing instances Implement AWS Systems Manager Session Manager
  3. Do not use SSH-RSA private keys during the launch of new instances Configure EC2 Instance Connect
  4. Generate new SSH-RSA private keys for existing instances Configure EC2 Instance Connect

Answer(s): A



A company has decided to move its fleet of Linux-based web server instances to an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group. Currently, the instances are static and are launched manually. When an administrator needs to view log files, the administrator uses SSH to establish a connection to the instances and retrieves the logs manually.
The company often needs to query the logs to produce results about application sessions and user issues. The company does not want its new automatically scaling architecture to result in the loss of any log files when instances are scaled in.
Which combination of steps should a security engineer take to meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively? (Choose two.)

  1. Configure a cron job on the instances to forward the log files to Amazon S3 periodically.
  2. Configure AWS Glue and Amazon Athena to query the log files.
  3. Configure the Amazon CloudWatch agent on the instances to forward the logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.
  4. Configure Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights to query the log files.
  5. Configure the instances to write the logs to an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) volume.

Answer(s): C,D



A company uses an external identity provider to allow federation into different AWS accounts. A security engineer for the company needs to identify the federated user that terminated a production Amazon EC2 instance a week ago.
What is the FASTEST way for the security engineer to identify the federated user?

  1. Review the AWS CloudTrail event history logs in an Amazon S3 bucket and look for the TerminateInstances event to identify the federated user from the role session name.
  2. Filter the AWS CloudTrail event history for the TerminateInstances event and identify the assumed IAM role. Review the AssumeRoleWithSAML event call in CloudTrail to identify the corresponding username.
  3. Search the AWS CloudTrail logs for the TerminateInstances event and note the event time. Review the IAM Access Advisor tab for all federated roles. The last accessed time should match the time when the instance was terminated.
  4. Use Amazon Athena to run a SQL query on the AWS CloudTrail logs stored in an Amazon S3 bucket and filter on the TerminateInstances event. Identify the corresponding role and run another query to filter the AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity event for the user name.

Answer(s): B



Two Amazon EC2 instances in different subnets should be able to connect to each other but cannot. It has been confirmed that other hosts in the same subnets are able to communicate successfully, and that security groups have valid ALLOW rules in place to permit this traffic.
Which of the following troubleshooting steps should be performed?

  1. Check inbound and outbound security groups, looking for DENY rules
  2. Check inbound and outbound Network ACL rules, looking for DENY rules
  3. Review the rejected packet reason codes in the VPC Flow Logs
  4. Use AWS X-Ray to trace the end-to-end application flow

Answer(s): B
