Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Database - Specialty
Question #: 340
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Database - Specialty Questions]

A company performs an audit on various data stores and discovers that an Amazon S3 bucket is storing a credit card number. The S3 bucket is the target of an AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) continuous replication task that uses change data capture (CDC). The company determines that this field is not needed by anyone who uses the target data. The company has manually removed the existing credit card data from the S3 bucket.

What is the MOST operationally efficient way to prevent new credit card data from being written to the S3 bucket?

  • A. Add a transformation rule to the DMS task to ignore the column from the source data endpoint.
  • B. Add a transformation rule to the DMS task to mask the column by using a simple SQL query.
  • C. Configure the target S3 bucket to use server-side encryption with AWS KMS keys (SSE-KMS).
  • D. Remove the credit card number column from the data source so that the DMS task does not need to be altered.

Selected Answer: A
Option A: Add a transformation rule to the DMS task to ignore the column from the source data endpoint. AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) allows you to specify transformation rules that change the schema and table definitions of the source data before it is migrated to the target. By adding a transformation rule to ignore the specific column (in this case, the credit card number), you can ensure that this data is not written to the S3 bucket during the continuous replication process. This approach does not require changes to the source database schema (as in Option D), does not involve masking the data (as in Option B), and does not rely on encryption to protect the data (as in Option C). It simply prevents the unwanted data from being written to the S3 bucket, which is the most direct and operationally efficient solution to the problem.

Not C. KMS encryption is secure, but it is not a procedure to prevent S3 writes
