Question #: 50
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Developer Associate Questions]

A company is building a compute-intensive application that will run on a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances. The application uses attached Amazon EBS disks for storing data. The application will process sensitive information and all the data must be encrypted.
What should a Developer do to ensure the data is encrypted on disk without impacting performance?

  • A. Configure the Amazon EC2 instance fleet to use encrypted EBS volumes for storing data.
  • B. Add logic to write all data to an encrypted Amazon S3 bucket.
  • C. Add a custom encryption algorithm to the application that will encrypt and decrypt all data.
  • D. Create a new Amazon Machine Image (AMI) with an encrypted root volume and store the data to ephemeral disks.

Selected Answer: A
A. Configure the Amazon EC2 instance fleet to use encrypted EBS volumes for storing data is the best option. This will ensure that all the data stored on the attached Amazon EBS disks is encrypted at rest. The encryption is performed transparently to the application and does not impact performance significantly. Creating an encrypted AMI with an encrypted root volume is an option, but it only encrypts the root volume, not the attached EBS disks. Writing data to an encrypted Amazon S3 bucket or adding a custom encryption algorithm to the application may also work, but they are not specific to the attached EBS disks and could potentially impact performance.

Selected Answer: A
A) Correct - Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) provides built-in encryption options that allow you to encrypt data at rest without requiring additional configuration or impacting performance significantly. By using encrypted EBS volumes, the data stored on the disks is automatically encrypted using AWS Key Management Service (KMS), and the encryption and decryption processes are handled transparently by AW

D) Eliminated - ephemeral disks, ephemeral disks are not persistent and are not suitable for storing important, sensitive data because they are lost when the instance is stopped or terminated.
