AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question

An operations team uses AWS CDK to define infrastructure. A new stack creates an IAM policy that grants s3:PutObject to * and opens TCP 22 from 0.0.0.0/0 on a security group. Company policy requires that any CI/CD deployment containing permission-broadening or other security-sensitive changes must halt automatically so a security engineer can review the change set. Which CDK deployment configuration satisfies this requirement?

  • Bootstrap the target account with cdk bootstrap --trusted-accounts <pipeline_account> to block deployments that modify security settings.

  • Add the --force flag to cdk deploy so the pipeline prompts for confirmation before applying IAM or networking changes.

  • Run cdk deploy --no-execute to always create but never execute the CloudFormation change set until it is approved manually.

  • Run cdk deploy --require-approval broadening so the command fails in the pipeline whenever security-sensitive changes are detected.
