HashiCorp Certified: Vault Associate (002) — Question 33

An organization wants to authenticate an AWS EC2 virtual machine with Vault to access a dynamic database secret. The only authentication method which they can use in this case is AWS.

Answer options

• A. True
• B. False

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is False because while AWS authentication is a valid method, Vault supports multiple authentication methods beyond just AWS, such as AppRole, LDAP, and more. Therefore, it's not accurate to say that AWS is the only authentication method that can be used.
