A company is using GitHub Actions to run a CI/CD pipeline that accesses resources on AWS. The company has an IAM user that uses a secret key in the pipeline to authenticate to AWS. An existing IAM role with an attached policy grants the required permissions to deploy resources.

The company's security team implements a new requirement that pipelines can no longer use long-lived secret keys. A solutions architect must replace the secret key with a short-lived solution.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

A.

Create an IAM SAML 2.0 identity provider (IdP) in IAM. Create a new IAM role with the appropriate trust policy that allows the sts:AssumeRole API call. Attach the existing IAM policy to the new IAM role. Update GitHub to use SAML authentication for the pipeline.

B.

Create an IAM OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider (IdP) in IAM. Create a new IAM role with the appropriate trust policy that allows the sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity API call from the GitHub OIDC IdP. Update GitHub to assume the role for the pipeline.

C.

Create an Amazon Cognito identity pool. Configure the authentication provider to use GitHub. Create a new IAM role with the appropriate trust policy that allows the sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity API call from the GitHub authentication provider. Configure the pipeline to use Cognito as its authentication provider.

D.

Create a trust anchor to AWS Private CA. Generate a client certificate to use with AWS IAM Roles Anywhere. Create a new IAM role with the appropriate trust policy that allows the sts:AssumeRole API call. Attach the existing IAM policy to the new IAM role. Configure the pipeline to use the credential helper tool and to reference the client certificate public key to assume the new IAM role.

A company is running multiple workloads in the AWS Cloud. The company has separate units for software development. The company uses AWS Organizations and federation with SAML to give permissions to developers to manage resources in their AWS accounts. The development units each deploy their production workloads into a common production account.

Recently, an incident occurred in the production account in which members of a development unitterminated an EC2 instance that belonged to a different development unit. A solutions architect must create a solution that prevents a similar incident from happening in the future. The solution also must allow developers the possibility to manage the instances used for their workloads.

Which strategy will meet these requirements?

A.

Create separate OUs in AWS Organizations for each development unit. Assign the created OUs to the company AWS accounts. Create separate SCPs with a deny action and a StringNotEquals condition for the DevelopmentUnit resource tag that matches the development unit name. Assign the SCP to the corresponding OU.

B.

Pass an attribute for DevelopmentUnit as an AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) session tag during SAML federation. Update the IAM policy for the developers' assumed IAM role with a deny action and a StringNotEquals condition for the DevelopmentUnit resource tag and aws:PrincipalTag/ DevelopmentUnit.

C.

Pass an attribute for DevelopmentUnit as an AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) session tag during SAML federation. Create an SCP with an allow action and a StringEquals condition for the DevelopmentUnit resource tag and aws:PrincipalTag/DevelopmentUnit. Assign the SCP to the root OU.

D.

Create separate IAM policies for each development unit. For every IAM policy, add an allow action and a StringEquals condition for the DevelopmentUnit resource tag and the development unit name. During SAML federation, use AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) to assign the IAM policy and match the development unit name to the assumed IAM role.

A video processing company has an application that downloads images from an Amazon S3 bucket, processes the images, stores a transformed image in a second S3 bucket, and updates metadata about the image in an Amazon DynamoDB table. The application is written in Node.js and runs by using an AWS Lambda function. The Lambda function is invoked when a new image is uploaded to Amazon S3.

The application ran without incident for a while. However, the size of the images has grown significantly. The Lambda function is now failing frequently with timeout errors. The function timeout is set to its maximum value. A solutions architect needs to refactor the application’s architecture to prevent invocation failures. The company does not want to manage the underlying infrastructure.

Which combination of steps should the solutions architect take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

A.

Modify the application deployment by building a Docker image that contains the application code. Publish the image to Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR).

B.

Create a new Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) task definition with a compatibility type of AWS Fargate. Configure the task definition to use the new image in Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR). Adjust the Lambda function to invoke an ECS task by using the ECS task definition when a new file arrives in Amazon S3.

C.

Create an AWS Step Functions state machine with a Parallel state to invoke the Lambda function. Increase the provisioned concurrency of the Lambda function.

D.

Create a new Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) task definition with a compatibility type of Amazon EC2. Configure the task definition to use the new image in Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR). Adjust the Lambda function to invoke an ECS task by using the ECS task definition when a new file arrives in Amazon S3.

E.

Modify the application to store images on Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) and to store metadata on an Amazon RDS DB instance. Adjust the Lambda function to mount the EFS file share.
