Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 385 discussion

A solutions architect is creating a new VPC design. There are two public subnets for the load balancer, two private subnets for web servers, and two private subnets for MySQL. The web servers use only HTTPS. The solutions architect has already created a security group for the load balancer allowing port 443 from 0.0.0.0/0. Company policy requires that each resource has the least access required to still be able to perform its tasks.

Which additional configuration strategy should the solutions architect use to meet these requirements?

  • A. Create a security group for the web servers and allow port 443 from 0.0.0.0/0. Create a security group for the MySQL servers and allow port 3306 from the web servers security group.
  • B. Create a network ACL for the web servers and allow port 443 from 0.0.0.0/0. Create a network ACL for the MySQL servers and allow port 3306 from the web servers security group.
  • C. Create a security group for the web servers and allow port 443 from the load balancer. Create a security group for the MySQL servers and allow port 3306 from the web servers security group.
  • D. Create a network ACL for the web servers and allow port 443 from the load balancer. Create a network ACL for the MySQL servers and allow port 3306 from the web servers security group.

Selected Answer: C
Option C aligns with the least access principle and provides a clear and granular control over the communication between different components in the architecture. Option D suggests using network ACLs, but security groups are more suitable for controlling access to individual instances based on their security group membership, which is why Option C is the more appropriate choice in this contex

C) Create a security group for the web servers and allow port 443 from the load balancer. Create a security group for the MySQL servers and allow port 3306 from the web servers security group. This option follows the principle of least privilege by only allowing necessary access: Web server SG allows port 443 from load balancer SG (not open to world) MySQL SG allows port 3306 only from web server SG

Selected Answer: C
Load balancer is public facing accepting all traffic coming towards the VPC (0.0.0.0/0). The web server needs to trust traffic originating from the ALB. The DB will only trust traffic originating from the Web server on port 3306 for Mysql
