AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 — Topic 1 Question 403

Question

A developer has an application that uses an AWS Lambda function to upload files to Amazon S3 and needs the required permissions to perform the task. The developer already has an IAM user with valid IAM credentials required for Amazon S3. What should a solutions architect do to grant the permissions?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. The correct answer is D. Option D: Create an IAM execution role with the required permissions and attach the IAM role to the Lambda function. AWS Lambda runs code without provisioning servers and scales automatically, which minimizes operational overhead. An IAM role grants temporary, least-privilege permissions to AWS resources without long-term credentials. AWS IAM controls authenticated and authorized access to AWS resources with fine-grained policies.
