Amazon AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 Bundle

The option Request/import the viewer certificate in us-east-1 for CloudFront addresses a separate condition: a CloudFront distribution uses a certificate requested outside its required region. CloudFront viewer ACM certificates have a specific regional requirement. The actual requirement is a service needs to rotate a pinned certificate without breaking trusting clients. Recommended corrective action: Deploy and test a certificate trust-transition plan before retiring the old cert. Coordinated trust rotation avoids certificate validation outages.

Attach a certificate covering the requested DNS name in its SAN entries would help if clients reject a valid-looking certificate because the hostname differs. TLS name matching requires the requested host to be covered. That is not the symptom described here: a service needs to rotate a pinned certificate without breaking trusting clients. The matching response is Deploy and test a certificate trust-transition plan before retiring the old cert, because coordinated trust rotation avoids certificate validation outages.

Request and attach an ACM-managed certificate with valid domain validation solves a different operational problem where an internet-facing ALB certificate expires during a product release. Managed ACM certificates can renew eligible public TLS certificates. It does not directly address a service needs to rotate a pinned certificate without breaking trusting clients. The case calls for Deploy and test a certificate trust-transition plan before retiring the old cert, since coordinated trust rotation avoids certificate validation outages.

Enable versioning and appropriate noncurrent-version lifecycle handling would help if a bucket must retain the last 30 days of overwritten datasets. Versioned objects permit recovery within retained versions. That is not the symptom described here: sensitive records arrive daily into S3 buckets but the classification process only runs manually. The matching response is Schedule scoped Macie sensitive-data discovery jobs for the changing buckets, because recurring classification identifies newly arrived sensitive data.

For the alternative failure an application requires ownership and control of all objects regardless of uploader account, the control Configure S3 Object Ownership bucket-owner-enforced with appropriate bucket policies is relevant: bucket-owner-enforced eliminates object ACL ownership ambiguity. Here the evidence instead is sensitive records arrive daily into S3 buckets but the classification process only runs manually. The selected technical mechanism is Schedule scoped Macie sensitive-data discovery jobs for the changing buckets: recurring classification identifies newly arrived sensitive data.

Create S3 lifecycle transitions to the approved storage class solves a different operational problem where objects should move to a cold tier after a predictable inactive period. Lifecycle automation implements age-based storage transitions. It does not directly address sensitive records arrive daily into S3 buckets but the classification process only runs manually. The case calls for Schedule scoped Macie sensitive-data discovery jobs for the changing buckets, since recurring classification identifies newly arrived sensitive data.

Enable S3 policy monitoring through Config/Access Analyzer and event-driven alerting solves a different operational problem where a sensitive bucket needs to expose suspicious policy changes immediately. Governance signals detect exposure drift beyond static policy review. It does not directly address objects should move to a cold tier after a predictable inactive period.

For the alternative failure backups are successful but restoration duration exceeds the service RTO, the control Run restoration exercises and tune snapshot/restore readiness or architecture is relevant: backup completion alone does not prove recovery time objectives. Here the evidence instead is a database volume needs point-in-time block-level backups. The selected technical mechanism is Schedule Amazon EBS snapshots with AWS Backup or Data Lifecycle Manager: eBS snapshots preserve volume state for block restoration.

Create a supported AMI with block-device mappings and required snapshots solves a different operational problem where engineers assume an EBS snapshot is a bootable EC2 AMI automatically. An AMI includes launch metadata beyond a raw snapshot. It does not directly address a database volume needs point-in-time block-level backups. The case calls for Schedule Amazon EBS snapshots with AWS Backup or Data Lifecycle Manager, since eBS snapshots preserve volume state for block restoration.

The competing option Copy required snapshots to a second AWS Region with verified permissions would be useful when a backup must survive a regional outage. Cross-Region backup copies reduce regional single points of failure. The present issue is a database volume needs point-in-time block-level backups; it is more directly addressed by Schedule Amazon EBS snapshots with AWS Backup or Data Lifecycle Manager.
