AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 118

A company wants to secure its consumer web application by using SSL/TLS to encrypt traffic.
Which AWS service can the company use to meet this goal?

Answer options

• A. AWS WAF
• B. AWS Shield
• C. Amazon VPC
• D. AWS Certificate Manager (ACM)

Correct answer: D

Explanation

AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) is the correct choice as it provides the ability to easily provision, manage, and deploy SSL/TLS certificates for use with AWS services. The other options, such as AWS WAF and AWS Shield, focus on web application security and DDoS protection, while Amazon VPC is primarily about network isolation and does not directly handle SSL/TLS certificates.
