[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 Questions]

A company is deploying a third-party web application on AWS. The application is packaged as a Docker image. The company has deployed the Docker image as an AWS Fargate service in Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). An Application Load Balancer (ALB) directs traffic to the application.

The company needs to give only a specific list of users the ability to access the application from the internet. The company cannot change the application and cannot integrate the application with an identity provider. All users must be authenticated through multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Which solution will meet these requirements?

A. Create a user pool in Amazon Cognito. Configure the pool for the application. Populate the pool with the required users. Configure the pool to require MFConfigure a listener rule on the ALB to require authentication through the Amazon Cognito hosted UI.
B. Configure the users in AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). Attach a resource policy to the Fargate service to require users to use MFA. Configure a listener rule on the ALB to require authentication through IAM.
C. Configure the users in AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). Enable AWS IAM Identity Center (AWS Single Sign-On). Configure resource protection for the ALB. Create a resource protection rule to require users to use MFA.
D. Create a user pool in AWS Amplify. Configure the pool for the application. Populate the pool with the required users. Configure the pool to require MFA. Configure a listener rule on the ALB to require authentication through the Amplify hosted UI.

Selected Answer: A

A? As GPT says, In this scenario, setting up a user pool in Amazon Cognito allows you to define the specific list of users who can access the application. You can configure the user pool to require multi-factor authentication (MFA), ensuring an additional layer of security for user authentication. Configuring the ALB listener rule to require authentication through the Amazon Cognito hosted UI means that users attempting to access the application through the ALB will be redirected to the Cognito hosted UI for authentication, where they'll need to provide their credentials and MFA code. This setup ensures that only authenticated users from the specific user pool with MFA will have access to the application, meeting the requirements without modifying the application itself.

As application can not be changed to integrate with Identity provider and users needs to be authenticated from internet using Cognito is the only possible solution among the options.
