Exam AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate topic 1 question 235 discussion

A SysOps administrator has blocked public access to all company Amazon S3 buckets. The SysOps administrator wants to be notified when an S3 bucket becomes publicly readable in the future.

What is the MOST operationally efficient way to meet this requirement?

  • A. Create an AWS Lambda function that periodically checks the public access settings for each S3 bucket. Set up Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to send notifications.
  • B. Create a cron script that uses the S3 API to check the public access settings for each S3 bucket. Set up Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to send notifications.
  • C. Enable S3 Event Notifications for each S3 bucket. Subscribe S3 Event Notifications to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic.
  • D. Enable the s3-bucket-public-read-prohibited managed rule in AWS Config. Subscribe the AWS Config rule to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic.

Option C is ok as well, but the issue is the task of enabling S3 Event Notifications for each S3 bucket would be operationally inefficient.

Selected Answer: D
I pick D - it’s clearly not A, B. Also, it can’t be C since S3 events cannot publish notifications when public access is enabled (see, https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/NotificationHowTo.html).

Selected Answer: C
why not D : AWS config 'block' public access, but exam requested to 'notify'

This is incorrect. Main point here is that S3 bucket events can't publish events of changing "public access status". Here is also description of s3-bucket-level-public-access-prohibited: "Checks if S3 buckets are publicly accessible. The rule is NON_COMPLIANT if an S3 bucket is not listed in the excludedPublicBuckets parameter and bucket level settings are public."
