DVA-C02 Exam Dumps : AWS Certified Developer - Associate

Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) are encrypted snapshots of EC2 instances that can be used to launch new instances. The developer can create new AMIs from the existing instances and specify encryption parameters. The developer can copy the encrypted AMIs to the destination Region and use them to create a new application stack. The developer can delete the unencrypted AMIs after the encryption process is complete. This solution will meet the encryption requirement and allow the developer to expand the application to run in the destination Region.

AWS STS AssumeRole: The central operation for assuming temporary security credentials, commonly used for cross-account access.

MFA Integration: The AssumeRole call can include MFA information to enforce multi-factor authentication.

Credentials for S3 Access: The returned temporary credentials would provide the necessary permissions to access the S3 bucket in the other account.

This solution will meet the requirements by storing the Root CA Cert as a Secure String parameter in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, which is a secure and scalable service for storing and managing configuration data and secrets. The resource-based policy will allow IAM users in different AWS accounts and environments to access the parameter without requiring cross-account roles or permissions. The Lambda code will be refactored to load the Root CA Cert from the parameter store and modify the runtime trust store outside the Lambda function handler, which will improve performance and reduce latency by avoiding repeated calls to Parameter Store and trust store modifications for each invocation of the Lambda function. Option A is not optimal because it will use AWS Secrets Manager instead of AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, which will incur additional costs and complexity for storing and managing a non-secret configuration data such as Root CA Cert. Option C is not optimal because it will deactivate the application secrets and monitor the application error logs temporarily, which will cause application downtime and potential data loss. Option D is not optimal because it will modify the runtime trust store inside the Lambda function handler, which will degrade performance and increase latency by repeating unnecessary operations for each invocation of the Lambda function.
