An AWS root account owner is trying to create a policy to access RDS. Which of the below mentioned statements is true with respect to the above information?

  • A. Create a policy which allows the users to access RDS and apply it to the RDS instances
  • B. The user cannot access the RDS database if he is not assigned the correct IAM policy
  • C. The root account owner should create a policy for the IAM user and give him access to the RDS services
  • D. The policy should be created for the user and provide access for RDS
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
AWS Identity and Access Management is a web service which allows organizations to manage users and user permissions for various AWS services. If the account owner wants to create a policy for RDS, the owner has to create an IAM user and define the policy which entitles the IAM user with various RDS services such as Launch Instance, Manage security group, Manage parameter group etc.

Well B mentions "database" and you don't need IAM permissions to access the database. You need endpoint and user ID and password with some other info based on configuration. D has "user" there so its not certain whether IAM user is mentioned or DB user C is the right answer because of proper choice of words there.

badly worded question and answer, take me awhile but still can't understand until i checked on the answer. C. is the correct answer for root user himself to have access to RDS

D also same which is equal to C. The only difference in D assumes admin and C straightaway mentions root user which is mentioned in question itself.
