[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 Questions]

To meet security requirements, a company needs to encrypt all of its application data in transit while communicating with an Amazon RDS MySQL DB instance.

What should a solutions architect do to satisfy the security requirements?

  • A. Enable IAM database authentication on the database.
  • B. Provide self-signed certificates. Use the certificates in all connections to the RDS instance.
  • C. Take a snapshot of the RDS instance. Restore the snapshot to a new instance with encryption enabled.

Amazon RDS creates an SSL certificate and installs the certificate on the DB instance when the instance is provisioned. So it is AWS provided.

Selected Answer: D
Even if IAM database authentication is enabled, clients still need to download and configure the AWS-provided root certificate to ensure a secure connection using SSL/TLS encryption. Without configuring the certificate, communication may not be fully encrypted, even with IAM authentication enabled. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/zh_cn/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/UsingWithRDS.SSL.html

That's not in any of the answers - "Provide the certificates in all connections to the RDS instance." this doesn't make sense with option D - it's not saying configure to trust the CA. Answer can only be option A. Your link includes this "Optionally, your SSL/TLS connection can perform server identity verification by validating the server certificate installed on your database.". This you don't actually need to trust the using CA and can configure the app that way - the traffic is still encrypted though.

Optiona A: IAM database authentication provides the following benefits: Network traffic to and from the database is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS). For more information about using SSL/TLS with Amazon RDS, see Using SSL/TLS to encrypt a connection to a DB instance or cluster.
