Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional topic 1 question 705 discussion

A company's AWS architecture currently uses access keys and secret access keys stored on each instance to access AWS services. Database credentials are hard-coded on each instance. SSH keys for command-line remote access are stored in a secured Amazon S3 bucket. The company has asked its solutions architect to improve the security posture of the architecture without adding operational complexity.
Which combination of steps should the solutions architect take to accomplish this? (Choose three.)

  • A. Use Amazon EC2 instance profiles with an IAM role
  • B. Use AWS Secrets Manager to store access keys and secret access keys
  • C. Use AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store to store database credentials
  • D. Use a secure fleet of Amazon EC2 bastion hosts for remote access
  • E. Use AWS KMS to store database credentials
  • F. Use AWS Systems Manager Session Manager for remote access

ACF A - roles and instance profiles attached to an instance defining who and what access is a best practice B - not required if your using SSM session manager so you would not need access keys for instances C - parameter store can be used to store secrets so we are green better option would be secrets manager which password rotation D - not wrong but why would you when you can use session manager? E - just wrong F - no brainer https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/session-manager.html
