A & E. Be in mind question is not talking about "Creating a trail for an organization". For "Receiving CloudTrail log files from multiple accounts" bellow the procedure: 1-Turn on CloudTrail in the account where the destination bucket will belong (111111111111 in this example). Do not turn on CloudTrail in any other accounts yet. 2- Update the bucket policy on your destination bucket to grant cross-account permissions to CloudTrail. 3 - Turn on CloudTrail in the other accounts you want (222222222222, 333333333333, and 444444444444 in this example). Configure CloudTrail in these accounts to use the same bucket belonging to the account that you specified in step 1 (111111111111 in this example).

One little problem here. CloudTrail is auto-enabled on creation of the account.

AE are the correct answers. Please note that it is not mentioned that all these accounts are in the same organization in AWS Organization, therefore cannot create an organization trail in CloudTrail of the management/delegated account (B).

An organization wants to log all AWS API calls made within all of its AWS accounts. Even if not speaking about a trail for an organization, above sentence is enough reason to believe that its what AWS is referring to. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/creating-trail-organization.html

To meet these requirements in the most secure manner, you should turn on AWS CloudTrail in each AWS account and store the logs in a central place for analysis. AE

If I have to choose, my answers will be A and E. However, I am having concerned whereby Cloudtrail is enabled by default so is A necessary? Understand that B will be a good answer if they are in an AWS organisation.

B, E is the correct answer here. If you have created an organization in AWS Organizations, you can create a trail that will log all events for all AWS accounts in that organization. This is sometimes referred to as an organization trail. You can also choose to edit an existing trail in the management account and apply it to an organization, making it an organization trail. Organization trails log events for the management account and all member accounts in the organization.

It doesn't say that the company is using " AWS Organizations". If it were, then you'd be correct.

Its B..E.. But this is tricky, because you do turn on cloud trail in the other accounts but at the end.... ://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/cloudtrail-receive-logs-from-multiple-accounts.html

Agree it is B and E. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/creating-trail-organization.html This is because the nature of organization cloud trail means that if you have new member account joining the organization, the management account will automatically include its trail in the centralized trail. Hence, only the management account needs to have CloudTrail enabled.

Correction: D, E A,B - CloudTrail is enabled upon account creation. C - Best practice is to use bucket policy. S3 ACL is legacy. D - "When you create an organization trail in the console, or when you enable CloudTrail as a trusted service in the Organizations, this creates a service-linked role to perform logging tasks in your organization's member accounts. This role is named AWSServiceRoleForCloudTrail, and is required for CloudTrail to successfully log events for an organization."

Sorry, final answer A and E. A - CloudTrail is enabled upon account creation but each account CloudTrail still need to be "turned-on" to specify which s3 the trail goes to. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/turn-on-cloudtrail-in-additional-accounts.html D is incorrect because the service-linked role is automatically created.
