A compliance team requires all administrator passwords for Amazon RDS DB instances to be changed at least annually.
Which solution meets this requirement in the MOST operationally efficient manner?

  1. Store the database credentials in AWS Secrets Manager. Configure automatic rotation for the secret every 365 days.
  2. Store the database credentials as a parameter in the RDS parameter group. Create a database trigger to rotate the password every 365 days.
  3. Store the database credentials in a private Amazon S3 bucket. Schedule an AWS Lambda function to generate a new set of credentials every 365 days.
  4. Store the database credentials in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store as a secure string parameter. Configure automatic rotation for the parameter every 365 days.

A SysOps administrator is responsible for managing a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances. These EC2 instances upload build artifacts to a third-party service. The third-party service recently implemented a strict IP allow list that requires all build uploads to come from a single IP address.
What change should the systems administrator make to the existing build fleet to comply with this new requirement?

  1. Move all of the EC2 instances behind a NAT gateway and provide the gateway IP address to the service.
  2. Move all of the EC2 instances behind an internet gateway and provide the gateway IP address to the service.
  3. Move all of the EC2 instances into a single Availability Zone and provide the Availability Zone IP address to the service.
  4. Move all of the EC2 instances to a peered VPC and provide the VPC IP address to the service.

A company uses an Amazon CloudFront distribution to deliver its website. Traffic logs for the website must be centrally stored, and all data must be encrypted at rest.
Which solution will meet these requirements?

  1. Create an Amazon OpenSearch Service (Amazon Elasticsearch Service) domain with internet access and server-side encryption that uses the default AWS managed customer master key (CMK). Configure CloudFront to use the Amazon OpenSearch Service (Amazon Elasticsearch Service) domain as a log destination.
  2. Create an Amazon OpenSearch Service (Amazon Elasticsearch Service) domain with VPC access and server-side encryption that uses AES-256. Configure CloudFront to use the Amazon OpenSearch Service (Amazon Elasticsearch Service) domain as a log destination.
  3. Create an Amazon S3 bucket that is configured with default server-side encryption that uses AES-256. Configure CloudFront to use the S3 bucket as a log destination.
  4. Create an Amazon S3 bucket that is configured with no default encryption. Enable encryption in the CloudFront distribution, and use the S3 bucket as a log destination.
