A user is trying to launch an EBS backed EC2 instance under free usage. The user wants to achieve encryption of the EBS volume. How can the user encrypt the data at rest?
A.
Use AWS EBS encryption to encrypt the data at rest
B.
The user cannot use EBS encryption and has to encrypt the data manually or using a third party tool
C.
The user has to select the encryption enabled flag while launching the EC2 instance
D.
Encryption of volume is not available as a part of the free usage tier
Suggested Answer:B🗳️
AWS EBS supports encryption of the volume while creating new volumes. It supports encryption of the data at rest, the I/O as well as all the snapshots of the EBS volume. The EBS supports encryption for the selected instance type and the newer generation instances, such as m3, c3, cr1, r3, g2. It is not supported with a micro instance.
Answer: A.
Small glimse
Supported instance types
Amazon EBS encryption is available on the instance types listed below. You can attach both encrypted and unencrypted volumes to these instance types simultaneously.
General purpose: A1, M3, M4, M5, M5a, M5ad, M5d, M5dn, M5n, M6g, T2, T3, and T3a
Earlier it was not allowed in free tier, so the answer was B.
No one check what the question is asked “free tier”, so only micro instances are eligible on free tire. Other instances can be use but not part of the free tier.
So answer is B. Need to use third party software.
Answer is C. It says in the beginning "A user is trying to launch..." Hence, when launching an EC2, the user can select the option to encrypt the drive.
If the question said something like " A user is trying the encrypt the EBS volumes on one of his EBS drives, attached to an EC2 instance". (A) would have been a possibility, however, remember you can't just encrypt an unencrypted EBS Volume on the fly like that. Just FYI
Bad Question > I dont undestand this question. whether they want to encrypt data at rest after launching or before launching..? Question says ..trying to launch that means not launched yet. But end of the sentence says data at rest..
