Exam AWS Certified Security - Specialty SCS-C02 topic 1 question 190 discussion

A company runs workloads in the us-east-1 Region. The company has never deployed resources to other AWS Regions and does not have any multi-Region resources. The company needs to replicate its workloads and infrastructure to the us-west-1 Region.

A security engineer must implement a solution that uses AWS Secrets Manager to store secrets in both Regions. The solution must use AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) to encrypt the secrets. The solution must minimize latency and must be able to work if only one Region is available.

The security engineer uses Secrets Manager to create the secrets in us-east-1.

What should the security engineer do next to meet the requirements?

  • A. Encrypt the secrets in us-east-1 by using an AWS managed KMS key. Replicate the secrets to us-west-1. Encrypt the secrets in us-west-1 by using a new AWS managed KMS key in us-west-1.
  • B. Encrypt the secrets in us-east-1 by using an AWS managed KMS key. Configure resources in us-west-1 to call the Secrets Manager endpoint in us-east-1.
  • C. Encrypt the secrets in us-east-1 by using a customer managed KMS key. Configure resources in us-west-1 to call the Secrets Manager endpoint in us-east-1.
  • D. Encrypt the secrets in us-east-1 by using a customer managed KMS key. Replicate the secrets to us-west-1. Encrypt the secrets in us-west-1 by using the customer managed KMS key from us-east-1.

The question does not state that a multi-region key is used. KMS is usually a regional service. "must be able to work if only one Region is available"

Selected Answer: D
By using a customer managed KMS key, you ensure that the same key is used for encryption in both Regions, maintaining consistency and security. Replicating the secrets ensures that they are available in both Regions, reducing latency and providing redundancy in case one Region becomes unavailable.
