AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question

An organization runs microservices on Amazon ECS Fargate in three separate AWS accounts. Each service needs a database password that must be rotated every 30 days. The CloudOps team wants a centrally managed, encrypted store that allows cross-account retrieval with minimal code changes and supports automated rotation. Which solution meets these requirements?

  • Store the password in AWS Secrets Manager within a centralized security account, encrypt it with a customer-managed KMS key, enable a 30-day rotation schedule, and grant the ECS task execution roles in the other accounts access through a resource-based policy.

  • Create an AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store SecureString in each account, encrypt it with the default AWS KMS key, and use an AWS Config rule to trigger a Lambda function that overwrites the parameter every 30 days.

  • Define the password as an encrypted environment variable in each ECS task definition and protect the cluster with AWS Shield Advanced.

  • Upload the password as a client-side KMS-encrypted object to an S3 bucket in the security account and schedule an AWS Batch job to replace the object monthly.
