Amazon Route 53 Resolver endpoints allow you to integrate DNS between AWS and on-premises environments easily. By creating inbound and outbound resolver endpoints, you can configure conditional forwarding rules so that DNS queries for your on-premises AD domain are forwarded to the on-premises DNS servers. This approach is fully managed, scales automatically, and requires the least administrative overhead.

AWS Documentation Extract:

"Route 53 Resolver provides DNS resolution between AWS and on-premises environments, using endpoints and forwarding rules to manage DNS query routing seamlessly."

A, D: Require provisioning, managing, and patching EC2 servers or domain controllers.

B: NS records in a private hosted zone do not provide true DNS forwarding.

An S3 Bucket Key reduces the cost of using AWS KMS for server-side encryption by decreasing the number of requests made to KMS. By enabling S3 Bucket Key, the company can meet its encryption requirements with KMS keys while optimizing costs by reducing the number of KMS API requests.

Key AWS features:

Cost Optimization: S3 Bucket Keys reduce the frequency of KMS calls, optimizing the cost associated with encryption while still using AWS KMS for key management.

Compliance with KMS Encryption: This solution continues to meet the strict encryption requirements of the company by using KMS managed keys.

AWS Documentation: Using an S3 Bucket Key is recommended for organizations looking to optimize encryption costs without compromising security​​.

An Application Load Balancer supports path- and host-based routing, which makes it ideal for routing requests based on subdomains. EC2 Auto Scaling ensures that the number of instances adjusts dynamically based on traffic, which helps manage cost and performance during predictable peak hours.

AWS Config is a service designed to assess, audit, and evaluate the configurations of AWS resources. It continuously monitors and records your AWS resource configurations and allows you to automate the evaluation of recorded configurations against desired configurations. By starting a configuration recorder, AWS Config will capture changes to supported resource types as configuration items—without the need to modify any of the existing resources. This provides a full history of configuration changes and is specifically intended for exactly this use case.

AWS Documentation Extract:

“AWS Config provides a detailed view of the configuration of AWS resources in your AWS account. This includes how the resources are related to one another and how they were configured in the past so you can see how the configurations and relationships change over time.”

“You can start the configuration recorder, which will record the configuration changes of the supported resources in your AWS account.”

Other options:

B: CloudFormation drift detection only works for resources created and managed by CloudFormation and requires stacks.

C: Amazon Detective is used for analyzing and investigating security findings, not for resource configuration tracking.

D: AWS Audit Manager is used for automating evidence collection to help with audits, not for tracking resource configurations.
