question 555

Multiple Choice

Your development team wants account-level access to production instances in order to do live debugging of a highly secure environment. Which of the following should you do?

• A) Place the credentials provided by Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) into a secure Amazon Sample Storage Service (S3) bucket with encryption enabled. Assign AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users to each developer so they can download the credentials file.
• B) Place an internally created private key into a secure S3 bucket with server-side encryption using customer keys and configuration management, create a service account on all the instances using this private key, and assign IAM users to each developer so they can download the file.
• C) Place each developer's own public key into a private S3 bucket, use instance profiles and configuration management to create a user account for each developer on all instances, and place the user's public keys into the appropriate account.
• D) Place the credentials provided by Amazon EC2 onto an MFA encrypted USB drive, and physically share it with each developer so that the private key never leaves the office.
