A retail company has several businesses. The IT team for each business manages its own AWS account. Each team account is part of an organization in AWS Organizations. Each team monitors its product inventory levels in an Amazon DynamoDB table in the team's own AWS account. The company is deploying a central inventory reporting application into a shared AWS account. The application must be able to read items from all the teams' DynamoDB tables. Which authentication option will meet these requirements MOST securely?


A. Integrate DynamoDB with AWS Secrets Manager in the inventory application account. Configure the application to use the correct secret from Secrets Manager to authenticate and read the DynamoDB table. Schedule secret rotation for every 30 days.


B. In every business account, create an 1AM user that has programmatic access. Configure the application to use the correct 1AM user access key ID and secret access key to authenticate and read the DynamoDB table. Manually rotate 1AM access keys every 30 days.


C. In every business account, create an 1AM role named BU_ROLE with a policy that gives the role access to the DynamoDB table and a trust policy to trust a specific role in the inventory application account. In the inventory account, create a role named APP_ROLE that allows access to the STS AssumeRole API operation. Configure the application to use APP_ROLE and assume the cross-account role BU_ROLE to read the DynamoDB table.


D. Integrate DynamoDB with AWS Certificate Manager (ACM). Generate identity certificates to authenticate DynamoDB. Configure the application to use the correct certificate to authenticate and read the DynamoDB table.





A company is building a web-based application running on Amazon EC2 instances in multiple Availability Zones. The web application will provide access to a repository of text documents totaling about 900 TB in size. The company anticipates that the web application will experience periods of high demand.

The company is concerned about the overall cost of the solution. Which storage solution meets these requirements MOST cost-effectively?


A. Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)


B. Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)


C. Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES)

A company has two applications: a sender application that sends messages with payloads to be processed and a processing application intended to receive the messages with payloads. The company wants to implement an AWS service to handle messages between the two applications. The sender application can send about 1.000 messages each hour.
