A software development firm manages a multi-account AWS environment. A developer in the development account needs temporary administrative access to perform emergency troubleshooting on resources in the production account. Which of the following options represents the most secure, AWS-recommended method to achieve this?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Create an IAM role in the production account with a trust policy that allows the development account to assume it, and grant the developer permission to assume this role.

Cevap

Create an IAM role in the production account with a trust policy that allows the development account to assume it, and grant the developer permission to assume this role.
The correct method is to create an IAM role in the production account that trusts the development account, and then allow the developer to assume this role. This approach follows the security best practice of using temporary credentials (via AWS STS) for cross-account delegation, eliminating the need to create static credentials or duplicate users across multiple accounts.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the need for cross-account access and identify the appropriate IAM entity.
Determine that IAM roles are designed to delegate access to resources across different AWS accounts using temporary credentials.
IAM roles allow users in one account to assume permissions in another account securely without creating duplicate IAM users or sharing static keys.
2
Configure the trust policy of the target IAM role in the production account.
Define a trust policy that specifies the development account ID as a trusted principal.
This establishes a cryptographic trust relationship, allowing users in the trusted development account to assume the role.
3
Grant the developer permission to assume the cross-account role.
Attach an IAM policy to the developer's IAM user or group in the development account that allows the sts:AssumeRole action on the production role's ARN.
The developer must have explicit permission to request the temporary credentials from AWS STS.

A systems administrator is troubleshooting a connectivity issue for a web application deployed on Amazon EC2 instances within a custom VPC subnet. The instances are associated with a stateful Security Group that allows inbound HTTP (port 80) traffic from any source, and allows all outbound traffic. At the subnet level, the custom Network Access Control List (Network ACL) is configured with an inbound rule allowing HTTP (port 80) traffic from any source, but its outbound rule set only contains the default deny rule. Users report that they receive connection timeouts when trying to access the web application. Which of the following explains why the connection attempts are timing out?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The Network ACL is stateless, which means it does not automatically allow return traffic; an outbound rule must be added to allow traffic to the clients' ephemeral ports.

Cevap

The Network ACL is stateless, which means it does not automatically allow return traffic; an outbound rule must be added to allow traffic to the clients' ephemeral ports.
The correct answer is correct because Network Access Control Lists (Network ACLs) are stateless. Even though the inbound HTTP traffic is allowed and the instance's Security Group is stateful (allowing return traffic automatically at the instance level), the stateless Network ACL blocks the return traffic because it does not track connection states. Therefore, an outbound rule must be explicitly added to the Network ACL to allow the web server's responses to reach the clients' ephemeral ports (typically 1024-65535).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the stateful nature of the Security Group associated with the EC2 instances.
The Security Group is stateful, so inbound HTTP traffic on port 80 is allowed, and its response traffic is automatically allowed outbound at the instance level.
To determine if the traffic is blocked at the instance boundary.
2
Analyze the stateless nature of the Network ACL associated with the subnet.
The Network ACL is stateless, which means outbound return traffic is not tracked or automatically allowed, even if the corresponding inbound traffic was permitted.
To check if the subnet boundary is blocking the return traffic.
3
Identify the missing configuration in the Network ACL outbound rules.
The outbound rule set only contains the default deny rule, blocking response packets sent to client ephemeral ports (typically 1024-65535). An explicit outbound rule is required.
To resolve the connection timeout by allowing the server to respond to the client.
