AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question

An operations team uses an EC2 Image Builder pipeline to produce an Amazon Linux 2 AMI each month. The image must be encrypted with a customer managed KMS key, scanned for vulnerabilities, versioned, and shared with two other AWS accounts in us-east-1 and eu-west-1. The first build succeeds, but the AMI is not visible to the peer accounts. Which additional configuration will let the encrypted AMI be distributed?

  • Turn off encryption because encrypted AMIs cannot be shared across AWS accounts through Image Builder.

  • Create a separate Image Builder pipeline in each target account; encrypted images cannot be distributed cross-account from a single pipeline.

  • Add the target account IDs to the pipeline's distribution settings and select "Share encrypted AMI"; Image Builder will automatically handle key permissions.

  • Encrypt the image with a customer managed KMS key that includes grants for the target accounts, then list those accounts in the distribution settings.
