Q1Domain Verified
A multinational corporation is migrating its on-premises identity store to AWS and requires a robust solution for managing federated identities from multiple external identity providers (IdPs) for both human users and machine-to-machine access. Which AWS IAM service is MOST suitable for orchestrating this complex federation scenario, enabling single sign-on (SSO) and assuming temporary, least-privilege credentials?
AWS Secrets Manager
AWS IAM Identity Center (formerly AWS SSO)
AWS Cognito
AWS Directory Service (AWS Managed Microsoft AD)
Q2Domain Verified
An architect is designing an IAM strategy for an application that interacts with multiple AWS services, including S3, DynamoDB, and Lambd
Storing access keys in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store and retrieving them via an IAM role.
The application runs on EC2 instances and needs to access these services securely without embedding long-lived access keys. The architect wants to ensure that if an EC2 instance is compromised, the blast radius of the compromised credentials is minimized. What is the MOST effective IAM mechanism to achieve this security objective? A) Creating an IAM user with programmatic access and attaching a policy to that user.
Using EC2 instance tags to dynamically grant permissions to the instance.
Assigning an IAM role to the EC2 instance profile with a tightly scoped IAM policy.
Q3Domain Verified
A security team is reviewing an IAM policy that grants broad access to an S3 bucket, including `s3:DeleteObject` and `s3:PutObject` for all objects within the bucket. They want to restrict this access to only specific object prefixes within the bucket, while still allowing all other S3 operations on the entire bucket. Which IAM policy element, when combined with the existing `Action` and `Resource` elements, would achieve this granular control?
`Condition` block with `s3:prefix`
`NotAction` block
`Condition` block with `s3:ExistingObjectTag`
`Principal` block
