AWS Certified Data Analytics Specialty 2021 – Hands-On - AWS Services Security Deep Dive (2/3)

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 user management, and KMS for encryption. Lambda functions require IAM roles for permissions and can integrate with KMS and SSM for secure data handling. Glue uses IAM policies and SSL for secure database access, and its data catalog can be encrypted and protected with resource policies.

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

• Automatic scaling

• Improved performance

• Cost reduction

• Network isolation

Which two database technologies support IAM authentication in RDS?

• DynamoDB and MongoDB

• SQLite and MariaDB

• PostgreSQL and MySQL

• Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server

What encryption method is supported by Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle in RDS?

• TDE (Transparent Data Encryption)

• SHA-256

• SSL

• AES-256

Which database technologies are compatible with Aurora's APIs?

• DynamoDB and MongoDB

• SQLite and MariaDB

• PostgreSQL and MySQL

• Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server

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

• To enable automatic scaling

• To increase memory allocation

• To reduce execution time

• To define permissions for accessing resources

What is the purpose of using SSL with Glue when accessing databases?

• To reduce storage costs

• To ensure encryption of data in transit

• To enable automatic backups

• To improve data processing speed

How can the data catalog in Glue be protected?

• By using CloudFront

• By using IAM roles

• By creating resource policies

• By enabling automatic scaling
