AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question
An operations engineer manages a central EC2 Image Builder pipeline that produces a hardened Amazon Linux 2 AMI each night. The AMI must automatically appear in three additional AWS Regions and be shared with every account in the company's AWS Organization. The solution must avoid custom code and minimize ongoing maintenance. Which action will meet these requirements?
Enable AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM) on the AMI and rely on automatic cross-Region replication to other accounts in the Organization.
Use AWS CloudFormation StackSets to deploy templates in each Region that copy the AMI locally and set cross-account launch permissions.
Attach a distribution configuration to the Image Builder pipeline that specifies the target Regions and enables sharing with the AWS Organization.
Create an EventBridge rule that triggers a Lambda function after each build to run the EC2 CopyImage API for each Region and update AMI launch permissions for all accounts.
EC2 Image Builder can perform AMI distribution as part of the pipeline. By adding a distribution configuration, the service automatically copies the produced AMI to specified Regions and adjusts launch permissions to share it with either specific account IDs or an entire AWS Organization. This achieves multi-Region availability and cross-account sharing without maintaining custom Lambda functions, CloudFormation templates, or manual AWS RAM configurations. Lambda-based copy scripts, CloudFormation StackSets, or RAM alone would require additional code or cannot replicate AMIs across Regions, increasing operational overhead or failing to satisfy the requirements.
