AWS Certified Developer Associate DVA-C02 Practice Question
A developer is building an application on an Amazon EC2 instance that requires a connection to an Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL database. For security compliance, the database credentials must be stored securely and automatically rotated every 30 days without requiring manual intervention or application code changes for the rotation to occur. Which AWS service should the developer use to meet these requirements MOST effectively?
AWS Secrets Manager is the correct choice because it is specifically designed for securely storing secrets and provides native, automated rotation capabilities for services like Amazon RDS. While AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store can store secrets, it does not offer built-in automatic rotation functionality; this would require a custom solution. AWS Key Management Service (KMS) is used to manage the encryption keys that protect secrets, but it does not manage or rotate the secrets themselves. AWS IAM Identity Center is used for managing user access to AWS accounts and applications, not for programmatic secrets management.
