Your company is planning on developing an application in IAM. This is a web based application. The application user will use their facebook or google identities for authentication. You want to have the ability to manage user profiles without having to add extra coding to manage this. Which of the below would assist in this.
Please select:
Correct Answer:C
The IAM Documentation mentions the following
A user pool is a user directory in Amazon Cognito. With a user pool, your users can sign in to your web or mobile app through Amazon Cognito. Your users can also sign in through social identity providers like Facebook or Amazon, and through SAML identity providers. Whether your users sign in directly or through a third party, all members of the user pool have a directory profile that you can access through an SDK.
User pools provide:
Sign-up and sign-in services.
A built-in, customizable web Ul to sign in users.
Social sign-in with Facebook, Google, and Login with Amazon, as well as sign-in with SAML identity providers from your user
pool.
User directory management and user profiles.
Security features such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), checks for compromised credentials, account takeover protection, and phone and email verification.
Customized workflows and user migration through IAM Lambda triggers. Options A and B are invalid because these are not used to manage users Option D is invalid because this would be a maintenance overhead

A company has two VPCs in the same AWS Region and in the same AWS account Each VPC uses a CIDR block that does not overlap with the CIDR block of the other VPC One VPC contains AWS Lambda functions that run inside a subnet that accesses the internet through a NAT gateway. The Lambda functions require access to a publicly accessible Amazon Aurora MySQL database that is running in the other VPC
A security engineer determines that the Aurora database uses a security group rule that allows connections from the NAT gateway IP address that the Lambda functions use. The company's security policy states that no database should be publicly accessible.
What is the MOST secure way that the security engineer can provide the Lambda functions with access to the Aurora database?
Correct Answer:B
This option involves creating a VPC Endpoint between the two VPCs that allows private communication between them without going through the internet or exposing any public IP addresses. In this option, a VPC endpoint for Amazon RDS will be established, and an interface VPC endpoint will be created that points to the service endpoint in the Aurora database's VPC. This way, the Lambda functions can use the private IP address of the Aurora database to access it through the VPC endpoint without exposing any public IP addresses or allowing public internet access to the database.
