Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 topic 1 question 603 discussion

A company hosts its web applications in the AWS Cloud. The company configures Elastic Load Balancers to use certificates that are imported into AWS Certificate
Manager (ACM). The company's security team must be notified 30 days before the expiration of each certificate.
What should a solutions architect recommend to meet this requirement?

  • A. Add a rule in ACM to publish a custom message to an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic every day, beginning 30 days before any certificate will expire.
  • B. Create an AWS Config rule that checks for certificates that will expire within 30 days. Configure Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) to invoke a custom alert by way of Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) when AWS Config reports a noncompliant resource.
  • C. Use AWS Trusted Advisor to check for certificates that will expire within 30 days. Create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm that is based on Trusted Advisor metrics for check status changes. Configure the alarm to send a custom alerts by way of Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS).
  • D. Create an Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) rule to detect any certificates that will expire within 30 days. Configure the rule to invoke an AWS Lambda function. Configure the Lambda function to send a custom alert by way of Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS).

Selected Answer: D
D seems correct “The first of the two options I describe is to use the ACM built-in Certificate Expiration event, which is raised through Amazon EventBridge, to invoke a Lambda function. In this option, the function is configured to publish the result as a finding in Security Hub, and also as an SNS topic used for email subscriptions. As a result, an administrator can be notified of a specific expiring certificate, or an IT service management (ITSM) system can automatically open a case or incident through email or SNS.“ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/how-to-monitor-expirations-of-imported-certificates-in-aws-certificate-manager-acm/

Selected Answer: D
B sounds good but it goes too distant as it mentions "invoke SNS when AWS config reports noncomplience resources" addtionally. The question only asks about expiration notification. So D should be correct. This question is indeed quesiton-question... tricky but competitive one. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/supported-events.html
