AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 958

Which task does AWS perform automatically?

Answer options

• A. Encrypt data that is stored in Amazon DynamoDB.
• B. Patch Amazon EC2 instances.
• C. Encrypt user network traffic.
• D. Create TLS certificates for users' websites.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS automatically encrypts all user data at rest in Amazon DynamoDB by default using AWS KMS. In contrast, tasks like patching EC2 operating systems, encrypting user-side network traffic, and provisioning TLS certificates fall under the customer's responsibility in the AWS Shared Responsibility Model.
