Question 1050

A subscription services team must detect an AWS resource configuration that drifted from an approved baseline. Which listed concept or AWS capability directly matches that requirement?

  1. Security incident escalation
  2. AWS CloudTrail
  3. AWS Config
  4. AWS Artifact
  5. Control evidence retention

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

This is the choice aligned with the subscription services requirement to detect an AWS resource configuration that drifted from an approved baseline: AWS Config evaluates supported resource configurations against rules and recorded changes. A realistic pilot must still check the qualification that configuration compliance does not verify the accuracy of model responses, especially where that could affect the acceptance criterion.

Incorrect Answers

A:

For the subscription services objective to detect an AWS resource configuration that drifted from an approved baseline, Security incident escalation addresses a different task—route possible model data exposure to established incident response teams. Its operating mechanism differs from that of AWS Config: incident workflows define detection, containment, investigation and reporting; this does not satisfy the requested outcome.

B:
