Question

A developer is building an application that consists of many AWS Lambda functions. The Lambda functions connect to a single Amazon RDS database. The developer needs to implement a solution to store the database credentials securely. When the credentials are updated, the Lambda functions must be able to use the new credentials without requiring a code update or a configuration update. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. The correct answer is D. Option D: Store the credentials as a SecureString parameter in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store. Add a reference to the parameter in an environment variable in the Lambda functions. AWS Lambda runs code without provisioning servers and scales automatically, which minimizes operational overhead. Systems Manager Parameter Store securely stores configuration data and secrets. AWS Systems Manager operates and automates management of fleets of resources.
