AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question

An operations engineer needs to update a production CloudFormation stack containing an Amazon RDS DB instance. The engineer must ensure the database can never be unintentionally replaced or deleted during future stack updates, but routine parameter modifications must still be allowed. What is the MOST appropriate solution to meet this requirement?

  • Enable stack termination protection on the CloudFormation stack.

  • Add the DeletionPolicy attribute set to Retain to the RDS DB resource in the template.

  • Set the resource's UpdateReplacePolicy attribute to Snapshot.

  • Attach a stack policy that explicitly denies Update:Replace and Delete actions for the RDS logical resource but allows Update:Modify.
