Question 450
An AWS Well-Architected design review identifies a condition, the decisive constraint is: A migration requires workloads to access a corporate IdP when a Direct Connect circuit fails. Which architecture decision most directly satisfies the requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Configure backup hybrid identity connectivity and test the path under circuit failure. Authentication availability is part of the recovery path for migrated services.
Incorrect Answers
Although Provide compatible directory connectivity through AWS Directory Service or managed AD integration can be valid when A migrated application previously used Active Directory integrated authentication for file shares, it targets a different technical condition. Directory-aware workloads require working identity and domain services after relocation.
Establish appropriate Organizations OUs and SCP guardrails before account enrollment would address a different requirement: A new AWS landing zone must enforce region restrictions before the first migration wave lands. Precutover governance prevents new workloads from deploying outside authorized boundaries.
This alternative, Remove and rotate the secret and use Secrets Manager or temporary role credentials, is appropriate when An on-premises service account password is embedded in a migration script checked into Git. Secret rotation and controlled runtime retrieval prevent repeating source-code credential leaks.
