Cevap: Enable automatic key rotation for the existing Customer Managed Key.; Create a new Customer Managed Key, configure the application to use it, and use Amazon S3 Batch Operations to copy and re-encrypt the historical logs older than one year under the new key.

Cevap

The correct actions are to enable automatic key rotation for the existing Customer Managed Key and to use Amazon S3 Batch Operations to re-encrypt historical logs. Automatic key rotation manages the rotation of backing key material for new writes, while historical data re-encryption must be executed manually or via S3 Batch Operations, as AWS KMS does not retroactively re-encrypt existing S3 objects. Managing credentials via IAM roles instead of the root account and securing parameters as SecureString are fundamental AWS security best practices.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Enable automatic key rotation for the Customer Managed Key used for encrypting new logs.

AWS KMS will automatically rotate the backing key material every 365 days. Existing logs remain decryptable, and new logs will be encrypted using the rotated key material under the same key ARN.

This satisfies the requirement to rotate the key material used for new logs annually without breaking access to old logs.

Identify logs older than one year and prepare an Amazon S3 Batch Operations Copy job using a new Customer Managed Key.

The old logs are copied in-place or to a target prefix, decrypting them using the old key and re-encrypting them using the new key.

Because KMS key rotation does not retroactively re-encrypt existing objects, a new write operation (like S3 Batch Operations Copy) is required to re-encrypt historical data under a new key.

A company is hosting a database application on Amazon EC2 instances. The database data is stored on attached Amazon EBS volumes, which are encrypted using an AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer managed key. Due to updated corporate compliance policies, the company must now rotate this encryption key annually. A solutions architect needs to configure the rotation while ensuring that the application suffers no downtime and that existing data remains accessible. How will enabling automatic key rotation for this customer managed key satisfy these requirements?

AWS KMS generates new backing key material annually and retains the old key material to decrypt existing data, keeping the same Key ARN so that no application or resource configurations need to be updated.

AWS KMS generates new key material and immediately triggers a background service to re-encrypt all existing blocks on the EBS volumes under the new key version to ensure compliance.

AWS KMS creates a completely new customer managed key with a different Key ARN, requiring the solutions architect to update the EC2 launch templates and manually re-encrypt the EBS volumes.

AWS KMS deletes the older backing key material during rotation to enforce security boundaries, which requires the databases to be stopped so that the volumes can be decrypted using cached data keys before the rotation finishes.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: AWS KMS generates new backing key material annually and retains the old key material to decrypt existing data, keeping the same Key ARN so that no application or resource configurations need to be updated.

Cevap

The correct option correctly describes AWS KMS key rotation behavior. When automatic key rotation is enabled for a customer managed key, KMS creates a new version of the backing key material every year. It retains all historical versions of the backing key material to decrypt any data previously encrypted with them. Because the Key ID and Key ARN do not change, applications and resources (like EBS volumes) continue to function without any configuration updates or downtime.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze how AWS KMS handles automatic key rotation for Customer Managed Keys.

Automatic rotation creates a new version of the backing key material annually, while keeping the Key ARN and key properties identical.

This avoids having to modify any resource policies, IAM policies, or application references pointing to the Key ARN.

Determine how KMS decrypts historical data after a rotation event occurs.

AWS KMS retains the older versions of the backing key material.

This allows KMS to automatically select the correct historical key version when decrypting existing data, removing the need to re-encrypt existing storage volumes or objects.

AWS IAM Identity Center is the modern, recommended service for managing single sign-on access across a multi-account AWS environment. By integrating with Google Workspace as an external identity provider using SAML 2.0, developers can authenticate securely with their existing corporate credentials. Furthermore, configuring SCIM automatic provisioning automates user lifecycle management (creation, updates, and deletion), directly fulfilling the requirement to minimize operational complexity and automate user synchronization.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Enable AWS IAM Identity Center in the AWS Organizations management account.

Centralized identity and access management is initialized across the entire multi-account environment.

This establishes a centralized management point for user access across all AWS accounts in the organization.

Configure SAML 2.0 federation between AWS IAM Identity Center and Google Workspace.

A trust relationship is established, allowing users to authenticate via their Google Workspace credentials.

SAML 2.0 enables secure single sign-on (SSO) federation, eliminating the need to manage duplicate passwords or long-term credentials in AWS.

Configure automatic user provisioning using the SCIM protocol between Google Workspace and AWS IAM Identity Center.

Cevap: Create interface VPC endpoints for ECR and attach a security group to them that allows inbound HTTPS traffic from the Fargate tasks' security group.; Create a gateway VPC endpoint for Amazon S3 and associate it with the route tables of the private subnets containing the Fargate tasks.

Cevap

Create interface VPC endpoints for ECR with a security group allowing HTTPS traffic from the Fargate tasks, and create a gateway VPC endpoint for Amazon S3 associated with the private subnet route tables.

To pull container images from Amazon ECR without sending traffic over the internet or using a NAT gateway, the VPC must connect privately to the AWS services. Interface VPC endpoints must be created for ECR (both the API and Docker registry endpoints), and their security groups must permit inbound HTTPS (port 443) traffic from the Fargate tasks. Because ECR stores image layers in S3, a gateway VPC endpoint for Amazon S3 must also be created and associated with the private subnet route tables to enable private download of the image layers.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Determine the network path requirements for pulling container images privately.

Identify that ECS Fargate tasks need private access to the ECR API endpoints and the underlying S3 buckets where ECR stores its image layers.

Since the VPC is isolated (no NAT Gateway or Internet Gateway), all traffic to AWS services must remain inside the AWS private network.

Configure the ECR endpoints.

Establish interface VPC endpoints for ECR and attach a security group that permits HTTPS traffic from the container tasks.

Interface endpoints provide private IP addresses for the ECR registry and API, allowing secure communication via private DNS.

Configure the S3 endpoint for layer retrieval.

Create an S3 gateway VPC endpoint and attach it to the route tables of the Fargate subnets.

ECR layers are stored in S3. Without the S3 gateway endpoint, the Fargate tasks will fail to retrieve the image layers even if they can authenticate with ECR.

Cevap

Configure the Network ACL for Subnet A to allow outbound traffic to Subnet B on TCP port 5432 and inbound traffic from Subnet B on TCP ports 1024–65535, and configure the Network ACL for Subnet B to allow inbound traffic from Subnet A on TCP port 5432 and outbound traffic to Subnet A on TCP ports 1024–65535.

The correct configuration acknowledges that Network ACLs are stateless and require rules for both inbound and outbound traffic. Because a client initiates a connection to the PostgreSQL database on TCP port 5432 using an ephemeral source port, the network path must allow outbound traffic on destination port 5432 from the client subnet and inbound traffic on the same port at the database subnet. To allow the response, the database subnet must allow outbound traffic to the ephemeral port range (

1024

–

65535

) and the client subnet must allow inbound traffic on those same ports.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Determine client-to-server traffic requirements.

A company stores large archives in an Amazon S3 bucket. The data is encrypted at rest using an AWS KMS Customer Managed Key (CMK). A new compliance policy requires that the encryption keys be rotated annually. The security team wants to ensure that all historical data remains readable without manual intervention, while new data is encrypted using the rotated key material.

Which configuration meets these requirements with the least administrative effort?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Enable automatic key rotation for the existing Customer Managed Key.

Cevap

Enable automatic key rotation for the existing Customer Managed Key.

Enabling automatic key rotation on an AWS KMS Customer Managed Key (CMK) automatically schedules rotation of the backing key material once a year. When this occurs, AWS KMS keeps all older key material active so it can decrypt any historical ciphertexts. Newly written files will automatically be encrypted using the newly generated key material. This achieves compliance with zero management overhead and zero downtime.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the primary requirement for annual rotation of a Customer Managed Key (CMK) in AWS KMS.

The requirement is to rotate the key annually, ensure historical data remains readable, and minimize administrative overhead.

Establishing the objective allows selecting the solution with the lowest management overhead and highest compliance.

Evaluate the native rotation mechanism of AWS KMS Customer Managed Keys.

Enabling automatic key rotation on a CMK generates a new key version annually. AWS KMS retains older key material indefinitely to decrypt historical ciphertexts automatically.

This shows that re-encryption of historical data or updating the bucket configurations is not required.

Compare against options involving manual rotation, deletion, and Parameter Store.

Deleting old keys causes data loss, manually re-encrypting historical data introduces high cost and complexity, and exporting key material to plaintext Parameter Store parameters introduces major security risks.

By eliminating complex or insecure workarounds, the native KMS automatic rotation is confirmed as the correct path.

Cevap: Configure AWS IAM Identity Center and connect it to the on-premises directory by deploying an AD Connector.

Cevap

Configure AWS IAM Identity Center and connect it to the on-premises directory by deploying an AD Connector.

Deploying an AD Connector as a proxy between AWS IAM Identity Center and the on-premises Microsoft Active Directory satisfies all security and operational requirements. AD Connector redirects authentication requests directly to the on-premises domain controllers, ensuring that directory data is never replicated to the cloud. AWS IAM Identity Center provides centralized single sign-on access control across all accounts within the AWS Organizations structure, eliminating the need to manage individual IAM users or credentials.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze directory replication constraints.

Identify that AD Connector is the only directory gateway service that acts as a proxy/redirector without replicating or caching Active Directory database data in the AWS cloud.

The scenario requires that no Active Directory data is replicated to AWS.

Select the centralized authentication interface for multiple AWS accounts.

Choose AWS IAM Identity Center (formerly AWS Single Sign-On) integrated with the AD Connector.

This centralizes user access management across the AWS Organizations multi-account structure, avoiding the need to configure federation or IAM users in each individual account.

A company is deploying an application on Amazon ECS using AWS Fargate within private subnets of a VPC. The application needs to retrieve sensitive configuration data from AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store. Due to strict security policies, the VPC does not have an internet gateway or a NAT gateway, and all traffic must remain within the AWS network. A solutions architect creates interface VPC endpoints for Systems Manager in the private subnets. However, the ECS tasks are failing to retrieve the configuration data. Which network security configuration is required to resolve this issue while maintaining the principle of least privilege?

Cevap: Configure the security group attached to the interface VPC endpoints to allow inbound HTTPS traffic on port 443 from the security group attached to the ECS tasks.

Cevap

Configure the security group attached to the interface VPC endpoints to allow inbound HTTPS traffic on port 443 from the security group attached to the ECS tasks.

The correct configuration is to modify the security group attached to the interface VPC endpoint (which creates ENIs in the private subnets) to permit inbound HTTPS (port 443) traffic originating from the security group of the ECS Fargate tasks. Because security groups are stateful, this rule automatically allows the return traffic back to the ECS tasks.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze how AWS Fargate tasks resolve and connect to AWS Systems Manager in a private VPC without internet access.

The Fargate tasks use private DNS associated with the interface VPC endpoints to resolve the Systems Manager service endpoint to the private IP addresses of the endpoint's elastic network interfaces (ENIs).

Since there is no internet gateway or NAT gateway, all traffic must remain within the VPC using PrivateLink.

Determine the firewall requirements for the interface VPC endpoint ENIs.

The security group associated with the interface VPC endpoint must allow inbound traffic on port 443 (HTTPS) because Systems Manager APIs are HTTPS-based.

Security groups are stateful and act at the instance/ENI level, controlling incoming traffic to the endpoint.

Apply the principle of least privilege to the inbound rule.

Restrict the source of the inbound HTTPS rule on the endpoint's security group to the security group of the ECS Fargate tasks.

This ensures only authorized container tasks can access the Systems Manager Parameter Store via the endpoint.

Anahtar Kavram

Interface VPC Endpoints (AWS PrivateLink) require appropriate security group configurations to allow inbound traffic from the client resources. Unlike Gateway Endpoints, they do not use route tables; they rely on DNS resolution and stateful security groups.

The correct steps are to create a gateway VPC endpoint for Amazon S3 and associate it with the private subnet route tables, and to create an interface VPC endpoint for Amazon SNS with its security group configured to allow inbound HTTPS traffic on TCP port

443

from the EC2 instances.

To satisfy the security requirement of accessing Amazon S3 and Amazon SNS without internet routing (including NAT gateways), VPC endpoints must be used. For Amazon S3, a Gateway VPC endpoint is created and associated with the route tables of the private subnets. For Amazon SNS, an Interface VPC endpoint (AWS PrivateLink) is deployed, which assigns a private IP address within the subnet to the service. The interface endpoint is secured with a security group that must allow inbound HTTPS traffic on port

443

from the EC2 instances.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the endpoint type required for Amazon S3.

Determine that Amazon S3 supports Gateway VPC endpoints, which are free of charge and integrate directly with route tables.

VPC Gateway endpoints are the standard, secure, and cost-effective way to access Amazon S3 from private subnets without public internet routing.

Identify the endpoint type required for Amazon SNS.

Determine that Amazon SNS only supports Interface VPC endpoints (AWS PrivateLink).

AWS PrivateLink exposes the service as an Elastic Network Interface (ENI) within the subnet with a private IP address.

Configure the security controls for the Interface endpoint.

Configure the security group attached to the Amazon SNS Interface endpoint to allow inbound traffic on TCP port

A company is deploying a three-tier web application on Amazon EC2 instances. The application needs to retrieve a database password to connect to an Amazon RDS DB instance, as well as an external API key that does not support automated rotation. Security requirements dictate that all credentials must be encrypted at rest, and the database password must be rotated every 30 days.

Which solution meets these requirements with the least administrative effort?

Store the database password in AWS Secrets Manager. Enable automatic rotation on the associated KMS customer managed key, which will automatically rotate the database credentials and re-encrypt the database table contents every 30 days.

Store the database password in AWS Secrets Manager and enable automatic rotation every 30 days using the built-in integration for Amazon RDS. Store the external API key as a SecureString parameter in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store.

Cevap: Store the database password in AWS Secrets Manager and enable automatic rotation every 30 days using the built-in integration for Amazon RDS. Store the external API key as a SecureString parameter in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store.

Cevap

Store the database password in AWS Secrets Manager with automatic RDS rotation, and store the API key as a SecureString parameter in Systems Manager Parameter Store.

The correct solution stores the database password in AWS Secrets Manager because it has built-in integration to automatically rotate RDS credentials. The external API key is stored as a SecureString parameter in Systems Manager Parameter Store, which encrypts the value at rest using AWS KMS, meeting all security requirements with the least operational effort.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the requirements for the database credentials.

The database password needs to be encrypted at rest and rotated every 30 days. AWS Secrets Manager offers native, automated integration to rotate database credentials for Amazon RDS instances.

Secrets Manager can automatically manage the lifecycle of database secrets without writing custom rotation logic, reducing operational overhead.

Analyze the requirements for the external API key.

The API key must be encrypted at rest but does not require rotation. AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store using the SecureString parameter type can encrypt the parameter using AWS KMS.

SecureString parameters provide a cost-effective, secure storage mechanism for secrets that do not require lifecycle management or automatic rotation.

Evaluate KMS key rotation behavior versus credential rotation.

Confirm that KMS key rotation only affects the backing key material used to generate new data keys and does not rotate the actual database password or update database user accounts.

Understanding key rotation mechanics prevents the misconception that key rotation solves application-level credential rotation.

The correct configuration requires allowing outbound traffic to the destination IP address on TCP port

443

, because the EC2 instances are initiating HTTPS requests. Since network ACLs are stateless, they do not automatically track connections or allow return traffic. Therefore, an inbound rule is also required. This inbound rule must allow traffic from the partner's IP address (acting as the source) on TCP source port

443

returning to the EC2 instances' ephemeral destination ports (TCP

1024-65535

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the direction and target ports of the initial request.

The EC2 instances initiate outbound HTTPS connections. This requires an outbound NACL rule allowing traffic to the destination IP address

203.0.113.50/32

on destination TCP port

443

Network ACLs are stateless, so both the initiating request and the return response must be explicitly permitted by distinct rules.

Determine the destination ports for the returning network traffic.

When a client initiates a TCP connection, the operating system allocates an ephemeral source port from the range

1024-65535

. The remote server sends the response back to this ephemeral port.

To allow the response to enter the subnet, an inbound NACL rule must permit traffic from the source IP address

203.0.113.50/32

originating from source port

443

and targeting the destination ephemeral port range

1024-65535

on the EC2 instances.

Combine the rules to form the complete stateless configuration.

The final network ACL configuration must contain the outbound port

443

rule and the inbound ephemeral ports rule.

Without both rules, either the connection request will be blocked on egress, or the return response will be blocked on ingress.
