Zorluk: OrtaIdentity and Access Management (IAM)

An organization wants to grant their third-party auditing team temporary access to audit their AWS cloud resources for compliance. At the same time, the organization needs to allow their database administrators to manage Amazon RDS resources without sharing credentials or using individual user policies. Which of the following configurations align with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) best practices? (Select TWO.)

  1. Assign the database administrators to an IAM group and attach an IAM policy to that group that grants permissions to manage Amazon RDS.Cevap
  2. Create an IAM role for the third-party auditors with a trust policy that allows the external audit account to assume the role.Cevap
  3. C
    Share the database administrator's individual IAM user access keys with the third-party auditing team to simplify access control.
  4. D
    Provide the third-party auditors with the AWS account root user credentials for the duration of the audit.
  5. E
    Request AWS Support to configure the third-party auditors' password strength policies and local workstation security settings.

Cevap

Assigning database administrators to an IAM group with an attached IAM policy, and creating an IAM role for the third-party auditors to assume.
Assigning database administrators to an IAM group and attaching an IAM policy to the group is the recommended way to manage human user permissions efficiently. Creating an IAM role with a trust policy for the third-party auditors enables secure cross-account delegation with temporary credentials, avoiding the risk of credential leakage.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the proper access mechanism for the database administrators.
Assign database administrators to an IAM group and attach an IAM policy to that group.
Managing permissions collectively through groups is an AWS best practice that simplifies administration compared to managing individual user policies.
2
Identify the proper access mechanism for external third-party auditors.
Create an IAM role with a trust policy allowing the external auditors to assume it.
IAM roles provide temporary security credentials for cross-account access, eliminating the need to share long-term credentials.
