AWS Certified Data Engineer Associate DEA-C01 Practice Question

A data engineer is configuring a Spark job on an existing Amazon EMR cluster that periodically connects to an Amazon Redshift database. The job must retrieve the database user name and password at runtime. Security mandates that the credentials are encrypted at rest, automatically rotated every 30 days, and accessed through IAM roles without code changes. Which solution meets these requirements?

  • Store credentials in AWS Secrets Manager, enable built-in rotation with an AWS Lambda function scheduled every 30 days, and allow the EMR instance profile role to read the secret.

  • Embed the credentials in the cluster bootstrap action script and restrict script access with an EMR security configuration; create an IAM role that allows reading the script.

  • Store credentials as SecureString parameters in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store encrypted with a customer managed KMS key. Grant the EMR instance profile role permission to read the parameters.

  • Place a JSON file containing the credentials in an Amazon S3 bucket encrypted with SSE-KMS and rotate the object every 30 days using a CloudWatch Events rule and Lambda.
