Within a VPC, a corporation runs an Amazon RDS Multi-AZ DB instance. The database instance is connected to the internet through a NAT gateway via two subnets.
Additionally, the organization has application servers that are hosted on Amazon EC2 instances and use the RDS database. These EC2 instances have been deployed onto two more private subnets inside the same VPC. These EC2 instances connect to the internet through a default route via the same NAT gateway. Each VPC subnet has its own route table.
The organization implemented a new security requirement after a recent security examination. Never allow the database instance to connect to the internet. A security engineer must perform this update promptly without interfering with the network traffic of the application servers.
How will the security engineer be able to comply with these requirements?
A company has AWS accounts in an organization in AWS Organizations. The company requires a specific software application to be installed on all new and existing Amazon EC2 instances in the organization AWS Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent) is installed and active on all the instances.
How can the company continuously monitor the deployment status of the software application on all the instances?
A company controls user access by using IAM users and groups in AWS accounts across an organization in AWS Organizations. The company uses an external identity provider (IdP) for workforce single sign-on (SSO). The company needs to implement a solution to provide a single management portal to access accounts within the organization. The solution must support the external IdP as a federation source.
