Question

A company has an ecommerce web application that uses an on-premises MySQL database as a data store. The company migrates the on-premises MySQL database to Amazon RDS for MySQL. A developer needs to configure the application's access to the RDS for MySQL database. The developer's solution must not use long term credentials. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Enable IAM database authentication on the RDS for MySQL DB instance. Create an IAM role that has the minimum required permissions. Assign the role to the application. Amazon RDS is a managed relational database that handles patching, backups and failover. An IAM role grants temporary, least-privilege permissions to AWS resources without long-term credentials. AWS IAM controls authenticated and authorized access to AWS resources with fine-grained policies.
