AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate — Question 208

A company has many accounts in an organization in AWS Organizations. The company must automate resource provisioning from the organization’s management account to the member accounts.

Which solution will meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Create an AWS CloudFormation change set. Deploy the change set to all member accounts.
• B. Create an AWS CloudFormation nested stack. Deploy the nested stack to all member accounts.
• C. Create an AWS CloudFormation stack set. Deploy the stack set to all member accounts.
• D. Create an AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) template. Deploy the template to all member accounts.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as AWS CloudFormation stack sets allow for the deployment of a single CloudFormation template across multiple accounts and regions, making it ideal for managing resources in an AWS Organizations setup. Options A and B are focused on change sets and nested stacks, which do not support cross-account deployments directly. Option D involves AWS SAM, which is not specifically designed for multi-account resource provisioning in this context.
