Exam question from Amazon's AWS-SysOps
Question #: 159
Topic #: 1
[All AWS-SysOps Questions]

A user is planning to schedule a backup for an EBS volume. The user wants security of the snapshot data. How can the user achieve data encryption with a snapshot?

  • A. Use encrypted EBS volumes so that the snapshot will be encrypted by AWS
  • B. While creating a snapshot select the snapshot with encryption
  • C. By default, the snapshot is encrypted by AWS
  • D. Enable server side encryption for the snapshot using S3
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
AWS EBS supports encryption of the volume. It also supports creating volumes from existing snapshots provided the snapshots are created from encrypted volumes. The data at rest, the I/O as well as all the snapshots of the encrypted EBS will also be encrypted. EBS encryption is based on the AES-256 cryptographic algorithm, which is the industry standard.

A). you can't create a snapshot of unencrypted EBS. You have to first create unencrypted snapshot and then copy it with encryption.
