AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 715

Which AWS Cloud design principle does a company follow by using AWS CloudTrail?

Answer options

• A. Recover automatically.
• B. Perform operations as code.
• C. Measure efficiency.
• D. Ensure traceability.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

AWS CloudTrail tracks and logs user activity and API transactions across your AWS infrastructure, which directly supports the AWS Well-Architected principle of ensuring traceability. Other principles, such as performing operations as code or recovering automatically, focus on automation and infrastructure management rather than auditing and activity monitoring.
