ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
Your company is re-hosting a two-tier Java application that currently runs on-premises. Security policy mandates developers remain responsible for application code and customer data, but wants AWS to handle operating system, middleware, and database engine patching going forward. Multitenant SaaS offerings are prohibited because of data-segregation concerns. Which AWS-based approach best satisfies these requirements while minimizing operational overhead?
Replace the custom application with Amazon WorkDocs to provide equivalent functionality as a fully managed SaaS solution
Lift and shift the entire stack to Amazon EC2 instances managed with AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager for automated updates
Migrate the web tier to AWS Elastic Beanstalk and the database to Amazon RDS for MySQL, both in a Multi-AZ deployment
Deploy a commercial Java application server appliance from AWS Marketplace using AMIs on Amazon EC2
Using AWS Elastic Beanstalk for the web tier and Amazon RDS for MySQL for the data tier moves the workload into a Platform as a Service (PaaS) model. With Elastic Beanstalk, AWS provisions the infrastructure and performs OS and middleware patching, while developers keep full control over the application code and its configuration. Amazon RDS likewise off-loads OS and database engine patching to AWS but still lets the team manage schemas, users, and data. Migrating to EC2 with Patch Manager leaves OS ownership with the customer, Marketplace AMIs require the customer to patch the guest OS, and adopting WorkDocs would be a SaaS replacement that removes application-level control-violating the requirement to manage the code. Therefore, the Elastic Beanstalk plus RDS solution is the only option that aligns with the desired responsibility split and avoids SaaS constraints.
