Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 793 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03
Question #: 793
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 Questions]

A company has a mobile app for customers. The app’s data is sensitive and must be encrypted at rest. The company uses AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS).

The company needs a solution that prevents the accidental deletion of KMS keys. The solution must use Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to send an email notification to administrators when a user attempts to delete a KMS key.

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

  • A. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule that reacts when a user tries to delete a KMS key. Configure an AWS Config rule that cancels any deletion of a KMS key. Add the AWS Config rule as a target of the EventBridge rule. Create an SNS topic that notifies the administrators.
  • B. Create an AWS Lambda function that has custom logic to prevent KMS key deletion. Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm that is activated when a user tries to delete a KMS key. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule that invokes the Lambda function when the DeleteKey operation is performed. Create an SNS topic. Configure the EventBridge rule to publish an SNS message that notifies the administrators.
  • C. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule that reacts when the KMS DeleteKey operation is performed. Configure the rule to initiate an AWS Systems Manager Automation runbook. Configure the runbook to cancel the deletion of the KMS key. Create an SNS topic. Configure the EventBridge rule to publish an SNS message that notifies the administrators.
  • D. Create an AWS CloudTrail trail. Configure the trail to deliver logs to a new Amazon CloudWatch log group. Create a CloudWatch alarm based on the metric filter for the CloudWatch log group. Configure the alarm to use Amazon SNS to notify the administrators when the KMS DeleteKey operation is performed.

Selected Answer: C
"Deletion of an AWS KMS key is scheduled. The scheduled-deletion event is evaluated by an EventBridge rule. The EventBridge rule engages the Amazon SNS topic. The EventBridge rule initiates the Systems Manager automation and runbooks. The runbooks cancel the deletion." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prescriptive-guidance/latest/patterns/monitor-and-remediate-scheduled-deletion-of-aws-kms-keys.html

Selected Answer: D
Cloud trail helps to keep all invoked API calls in the AWS account which can trail back to the delete call made by a user CloudWatch triggers an alarm when deletion is attempted. SNS sends a notification to the administration about the attempt made. All these met the requirement of the question.

I would go with C A -> Config is for compliance B -> No lambda is required, too much complexity C -> It achieves the goal, since KMS keys are not immediately deleted, which gives time to automation to cancel the action D -> Cloudtrail is for auditing
