You want to configure an Amazon MSK cluster to encrypt data both at rest and in transit. Which combination of settings should you enable?
AEnable AWS KMS encryption for storage and TLS for client connections
BEnable SSL only for client connections
CEnable server-side encryption only
DEnable client-side encryption only
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand encryption at rest and in transit

    Encryption at rest protects stored data (using AWS KMS), encryption in transit protects data moving over network (using TLS/SSL).
  2. Step 2: Match settings to encryption goals

    Enable AWS KMS encryption for storage and TLS for client connections enables both AWS KMS for storage encryption and TLS for network encryption, fulfilling both requirements.
  3. Final Answer:

    Enable AWS KMS encryption for storage and TLS for client connections -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    At rest + in transit encryption = KMS + TLS [OK]
Quick Trick: Use KMS for storage and TLS for network encryption [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Confusing SSL with storage encryption
  • Enabling only one encryption type
  • Thinking client-side encryption covers all
