Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional topic 1 question 673 discussion

A company uses AWS Organizations with a single OU named Production to manage multiple accounts. All accounts are members of the Production OU.
Administrators use deny list SCPs in the root of the organization to manage access to restricted services.
The company recently acquired a new business unit and invited the new unit's existing AWS account to the organization. Once onboarded, the administrators of the new business unit discovered that they are not able to update existing AWS Config rules to meet the company's policies.
Which option will allow administrators to make changes and continue to enforce the current policies without introducing additional long-term maintenance?

  • A. Remove the organization's root SCPs that limit access to AWS Config. Create AWS Service Catalog products for the company's standard AWS Config rules and deploy them throughout the organization, including the new account.
  • B. Create a temporary OU named Onboarding for the new account. Apply an SCP to the Onboarding OU to allow AWS Config actions. Move the new account to the Production OU when adjustments to AWS Config are complete.
  • C. Convert the organization's root SCPs from deny list SCPs to allow list SCPs to allow the required services only. Temporally apply an SCP to the organization's root that allows AWS Config actions for principals only in the new account.
  • D. Create a temporary OU named Onboarding for the new account. Apply an SCP to the Onboarding OU to allow AWS Config actions. Move the organization's root SCP to the Production OU. Move the new account to the Production OU when adjustments to AWS Config are complete.

D. The problem with B is that the new OU will be created within the root of the organization, and so the Deny on changes to Config rules (from the root of the organization) will then apply to the new OU as well. The new OU must not have a parent that denies changes to Config rules. That would be the case for D.

D --> "Administrators use deny list SCPs in the root of the organization to manage access to restricted services." In Option D "Move the organization's root SCP to the Production OU. Move the new account to the Production OU when adjustments to AWS Config are complete."

D is correct as for B If the SCP applied on the organization's root has a "deny" permission, all OUs under the organization will inherit that rule. You cannot override an explicit "deny" permission with an explicit "allow" applied to the temporary Onboarding OU.

OK review again. The answer is B. Don't forget scp was already applicable to root do no need to apply it again and thus why D isn't correct

Going with D, due to the "allow administrators to make changes and continue to enforce the current policies" part.

If scp is applied via deny policy at the root, we cannot enable it at a lower level. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_manage_policies_inheritance_auth.html I suggest C

I think the correct answer is D. The best practice is to not assign an SCP to the root of the organization. So B is incorrect. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_manage_policies_scps.html - Search for "Testing effects of SCPs".
