AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 101

A Systems Administrator is responsible for maintaining custom, approved AMIs for a company. These AMIs must be shared with each of the company's AWS accounts.
How can the Administrator address this issue?

Answer options

• A. Contact AWS Support for sharing AMIs with other AWS accounts.
• B. Modify the permissions on the AMIs so that they are publicly accessible.
• C. Modify the permissions on the IAM role that are associated with the AMI.
• D. Share the AMIs with each AWS account using the console or CLI.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it directly addresses the need to share AMIs with specific AWS accounts using the appropriate tools. Option A is incorrect as contacting AWS Support is unnecessary for this task; the functionality exists within the AWS ecosystem. Option B is not a suitable approach since making AMIs public could expose sensitive information. Option C is also incorrect as modifying the IAM role permissions does not facilitate direct sharing of AMIs with other accounts.
