Exam AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate topic 1 question 468 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate
Question #: 468
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate Questions]

A company has a list of pre-approved Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) for developers to use to launch Amazon EC2 instances. However, developers are still launching EC2 instances from unapproved AMIs.

A SysOps administrator must implement a solution that automatically terminates any instances that are launched from unapproved AMIs.

Which solution will meet this requirement?

  • A. Set up an AWS Config managed rule to check if instances are running from AMIs that are on the list of pre-approved AMIs. Configure an automatic remediation action so that an AWS Systems Manager Automation runbook terminates any instances that are noncompliant with the rule.
  • B. Store the list of pre-approved AMIs in an Amazon DynamoDB global table that is replicated to all AWS Regions that the developers use. Create Regional EC2 launch templates. Configure the launch templates to check AMIs against the list and to terminate any instances that are not on the list.
  • C. Select the Amazon CloudWatch metric that shows all running instances and the AMIs that the instances were launched from. Create a CloudWatch alarm that terminates an instance if the metric shows the use of an unapproved AMI.
  • D. Create a custom Amazon Inspector finding to compare a running instance's AMI against the list of pre-approved AMIs. Create an AWS Lambda function that terminates instances. Configure Amazon Inspector to report findings of unapproved AMIs to an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue to invoke the Lambda function.

Selected Answer: A
AWS Config is a service that enables you to assess, audit, and evaluate the configurations of your AWS resources. It can be used to determine the compliance of the resources based on pre-configured rules. An AWS Config managed rule can be set up to check whether EC2 instances are running from a list of approved AMIs. If the instance is running from an unapproved AMI, AWS Config supports automatic remediation actions through AWS Systems Manager Automation documents. When an instance is found to be non-compliant, it triggers an Automation document to terminate the instance.
