AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 32

Your organization requires strict adherence to a change control process for its Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and VPC environments. The organization uses AWS CloudFormation as the AWS service to control and implement changes. Which combination of three services provides an alert for changes made outside of AWS CloudFormation? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. AWS Config
• B. AWS Simple Notification Service
• C. AWS CloudWatch metrics
• D. AWS Lambda
• E. AWS CloudFormation
• F. AWS Identify and Access Management

Correct answer: A, B, E

Explanation

AWS Config enables tracking of configuration changes, making it essential for monitoring changes outside of CloudFormation. AWS Simple Notification Service can send alerts based on these configuration changes. AWS CloudFormation itself does not provide alerts for external changes, while the other options do not focus on monitoring configuration compliance.
