Topic #: 1

[All AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate Questions]

A company uses AWS Organizations to manage multiple AWS accounts. Corporate policy mandates that only specific AWS Regions can be used to store and process customer data. A SysOps administrator must prevent the provisioning of Amazon EC2 instances in unauthorized Regions by anyone in the company.
What is the MOST operationally efficient solution that meets these requirements?

A. Configure AWS CloudTrail in all Regions to record all API activity. Create an Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) rule in all unauthorized Regions for ec2:RunInstances events. Use AWS Lambda to terminate the launched EC2 instances.
B. In each AWS account, create a managed IAM policy that uses a Region condition to deny the ec2:RunInstances action in all unauthorized Regions. Attach this policy to all IAM groups in each AWS account.
C. In each AWS account, create an IAM permissions boundary policy that uses a Region condition to deny the ec2:RunInstances action in all unauthorized Regions. Attach the permissions boundary policy to all IAM users in each AWS account.
D. Create a service control policy (SCP) in AWS Organizations to deny the ec2:RunInstances action in all unauthorized Regions. Attach this policy to the root level of the organization.

Def D here. If this question has something like "Use Control Tower and setup the landing zone with provisioned regions" that would take be correct but there is no Control Tower option on this one.

you are right if control tower is mentioned somewhere it would be easy to answer this, that is what they tricked in the question here, coz without control tower too, we can use SCPs using organization. otherwise most of them would go for A.

chatGPT says : "Option D provides the most efficient solution because it offers centralized control, granularity, and automatic enforcement across the organization's accounts, without the need for implementing and maintaining additional mechanisms like CloudTrail, CloudWatch Events, Lambda functions, IAM policies, or permissions boundaries."
