AWS Certified Developer Associate DVA-C02 Practice Question

A developer needs to securely manage the storage and retrieval of database login credentials for an application hosted on Amazon EC2 instances. The application code requires these credentials to establish database connections at runtime. Which method is the recommended best practice for handling these credentials securely?

  • Use a secret management service like AWS Secrets Manager to store the database credentials, allowing the application to retrieve them securely at runtime.

  • Embed the database credentials directly in the source code of the application after encrypting them with a basic encryption algorithm.

  • Configure environment variables on the EC2 instances to hold the login details, and read them directly within the application when needed.

  • Create an IAM policy that grants the EC2 instance profile the necessary permissions to connect to the database without needing to store explicit credentials.
