AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question

The best security practice for managing an application's permissions is to create a role with the specific privileges needed and then attach it to the virtual server. This method supports the principle of least privilege by only granting access that is necessary for the application's function, without the need to manage or expose static credentials. Using static credentials or high-level access like the root account's credentials can lead to significant security risks, including potential unauthorized access if the credentials are compromised.
