Question

A company has a custom application with embedded credentials that retrieves information from a database in an Amazon RDS for MySQL DB cluster. The company needs to make the application more secure with minimal programming effort. The company has created credentials on the RDS for MySQL database for the application user. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Store the credentials in AWS Secrets Manager. Configure the application to load the database credentials from Secrets Manager. Set up a credentials rotation schedule by creating an AWS Lambda function for Secrets Mana... AWS Lambda runs code without provisioning servers and scales automatically, which minimizes operational overhead. AWS Secrets Manager stores and automatically rotates secrets such as database credentials. AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes and evaluates compliance.
