The user is planning to host a web server in the public subnet with port 80 and a Database server in the private subnet with port 3306. The user is configuring a security group for the public subnet (WebSecGrp) and the private subnet (DBSecGrp). which of the below mentioned entries is required in the private subnet database security group DBSecGrp?
Please select:
Correct Answer:
A
Since the Web server needs to talk to the database server on port 3306 that means that the database server should allow incoming traffic on port 3306. The below table from the aws documentation shows how the security groups should be set up.

The AWS Security best practises mentions the following
Unique to AWS, security practitioners can use CloudFormation to quickly create a new, trusted environment in which to conduct deeper investigation. The CloudFormation template can pre-configure instances in an isolated environment that contains all the necessary tools forensic teams need to determine the cause of the incident This cuts down on the time it takes to gather necessary tools, isolates systems under examination, and ensures that the team is operating in a clean room.
Option A is incorrect since this is a logging service and cannot be used to provision a test environment Option C is incorrect since this is an API logging service and cannot be used to provision a test environment Option D is incorrect since this is a configuration service and cannot be used to provision a test environment For more information on AWS Security best practises, please refer to below URL: https://d1.awsstatic.com/whitepapers/architecture/AWS-Security-Pillar.pd1
