Questions # 77:

A company has an organization in AWS Organizations for its multi-account environment. A DevOps engineer is developing an AWS CodeArtifact based strategy for application package management across the organization. Each application team at the company has its own account in the organization. Each application team also has limited access to a centralized shared services account.

Each application team needs full access to download, publish, and grant access to its own packages. Some common library packages that the application teams use must also be shared with the entire organization.

Which combination of steps will meet these requirements with the LEAST administrative overhead? (Select THREE.)

Options:

Create a domain in each application team's account. Grant each application team's account lull read access and write access to the application team's domain

For teams that require shared packages, create resource-based policies that allow read access to the repository from other application teams' accounts.

Set the other application teams' repositories as upstream repositories.

Expert Solution

Answer

B, D, E

Explanation

 Step 1: Creating a Centralized Domain in the Shared Services Account

To manage application package dependencies across multiple accounts, the most efficient solution is to create a centralized domain in the shared services account. This allows all application teams to access and manage package repositories within the same domain, ensuring consistency and centralization.

Action: Create a domain in the shared services account.

Why: A single, centralized domain reduces the need for redundant management in each application team's account.

[Reference: AWS documentation on AWS CodeArtifact domains and repositories., This corresponds to Option B: Create a domain in the shared services account. Grant the organization read access and CreateRepository access.,  Step 2: Sharing Repositories Across Teams with Upstream ConfigurationsTo share common library packages across the organization, each application team's repository can point to the shared services repository as an upstream repository. This enables teams to access shared packages without managing them individually in each team's account., Action: Create a repository in the shared services account and set it as the upstream repository for each application team., Why: Upstream repositories allow package sharing while maintaining individual team repositories for managing their own packages., Reference: AWS documentation on Upstream repositories in CodeArtifact., This corresponds to Option D: Create a repository in the shared services account. Grant the organization read access to the repository in the shared services account. Set the repository as the upstream repository in each application team's repository.,  Step 3: Using Resource-Based Policies for Cross-Account AccessFor teams that need to share their packages with other application teams, resource-based policies can be applied to grant the necessary permissions. These policies allow cross-account access without having to manage permissions at the individual account level., Action: Create resource-based policies that allow read access to the repositories across application teams., Why: This simplifies management by centralizing permissions in the shared services account while allowing cross-team collaboration., Reference: AWS documentation on CodeArtifact resource-based policies., This corresponds to Option E: For teams that require shared packages, create resource-based policies that allow read access to the repository from other application teams' accounts., , , , ]

Questions # 78:

A developer is creating a proof of concept for a new software as a service (SaaS) application. The application is in a shared development AWS account that is part of an organization in AWS Organizations.

The developer needs to create service-linked IAM roles for the AWS services that are being considered for the proof of concept. The solution needs to give the developer the ability to create and configure the service-linked roles only.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

Options:

Create an IAM user for the developer in the organization’s management account. Configure a cross-account role in the development account for the developer to use. Limit the scope of the cross-account role to common services.

Add the developer to an IAM group. Attach the PowerUserAccess managed policy to the IAM group. Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) on the user account.

Add an SCP to the development account in Organizations. Configure the SCP with a Deny rule for iam:* to limit the developer’s access.

Create an IAM role that has the necessary IAM access to allow the developer to create policies and roles. Create and attach a permissions boundary to the role. Grant the developer access to assume the role.
