AWS Certified Data Analytics Specialty 2021 - Hands-On! - Amazon Web Services AWS Security Features Deep Dive - Part 2

The video tutorial covers security features for AWS services like RDS, Aurora, Lambda, and Glue. It explains how RDS and Aurora use VPC for network isolation, IAM for API protection, and KMS for data encryption. Lambda functions require IAM roles for permissions and can use KMS for secret management. Glue uses IAM policies for access control and supports SSL for secure database connections. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of encryption and resource policies for data protection across these services.

What is the primary purpose of deploying RDS databases within a VPC?

• To simplify database management

• To enhance database performance

• To provide network isolation

• To reduce storage costs

Which two database technologies support IAM authentication in RDS?

• Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server

• PostgreSQL and MySQL

• SQLite and MariaDB

• DynamoDB and MongoDB

What is a key difference between Aurora and RDS in terms of supported database technologies?

• Aurora supports all major database technologies

• Aurora supports NoSQL databases

• Aurora supports only PostgreSQL and MySQL

• Aurora supports Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server

Why is it important for a Lambda function to have an IAM role attached?

• To define permissions for accessing resources

• To enable multi-threading

• To reduce memory usage

• To improve execution speed

How can secrets be securely passed to a Lambda function?

• By using plain text environment variables

• By using KMS encrypted variables

• By storing them in a public S3 bucket

• By hardcoding them in the function code

What is the purpose of using SSL for JDBC connections in Glue?

• To reduce storage costs

• To increase data transfer speed

• To enable multi-threading

• To ensure encryption in transit

How can the data catalog in Glue be protected?

• By storing it in a public S3 bucket

• By disabling access logging

• By creating resource policies

• By using IAM roles
