 IAM Identity Center SAML Metadata:

This metadata is required to establish the trust relationship between AWS IAM Identity Center and the external SAML 2.0 identity provider.

Steps:

Download the IAM Identity Center SAML metadata from the AWS Management Console.

Provide this metadata to the external IdP.

 IdP Metadata:

The metadata from the IdP, including the public X.509 certificate, is needed to configure the trust relationship.

Steps:

Obtain the IdP metadata, which includes the entity ID, endpoints, and X.509 certificate.

Configure the IAM Identity Center with this information.

AWS OpsWorks is a configuration management service that provides managed instances of Chef and Puppet. This service is designed to work seamlessly with Chef recipes, making it the most operationally efficient solution for continuing to use existing Chef recipes after migrating applications to AWS.

Creating an OpsWorks Stack:

Open the AWS OpsWorks console at AWS OpsWorks Console.

Create a new stack and select Chef as the configuration management engine.

Adding Layers:

Add layers to the stack that represent different parts of your application. Each layer can have its own set of Chef recipes.

Assign instances to these layers as needed.

Deploying Chef Recipes:

Upload your existing Chef recipes to the OpsWorks stack.

Configure the layers to use these recipes during setup, deployment, and other lifecycle events.

To serve static websites using S3 and Route 53, AWS requires the bucket name to match the custom domain name (e.g., not just a random bucket like example-website-hosting-bucket.

From the Amazon S3 Static Website Hosting Guide:

To use Amazon Route 53 to route domain traffic to an S3 bucket that is configured as a static website, the bucket name must match the name of the domain or subdomain.

This means:

To host you must create an S3 bucket named

Then configure static website hosting on that bucket

In Route 53, you can then create an alias record pointing to the S3 website endpoint

❌ Why the other options are incorrect:

A. ARNs are not valid alias targets in Route 53.

B. ARN changes do not affect Route 53; also, you cannot rename an S3 bucket via ARN changes.

C. Access Points do not support static website hosting. They are for programmatic access via APIs.
