Question

A company needs a solution to enforce data encryption at rest on Amazon EC2 instances. The solution must automatically identify noncompliant resources and enforce compliance policies on findings. Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST administrative overhead?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Use an IAM policy that allows users to create only encrypted Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes. Use AWS Config and AWS Systems Manager to automate the detection and remediation of unencrypted EBS volumes. Amazon EBS provides block storage attached to a single EC2 instance. AWS IAM controls authenticated and authorized access to AWS resources with fine-grained policies. AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes and evaluates compliance.
