Report
Export

A large company is migrating ils entire IT portfolio to AWS. Each business unit in the company has a standalone AWS account that supports both development and test environments. New accounts to support production workloads will be needed soon.

The finance department requires a centralized method for payment but must maintain visibility into each group's spending to allocate costs.

The security team requires a centralized mechanism to control 1AM usage in all the company's accounts.

What combination of the following options meet the company's needs with the LEAST effort? (Select TWO.)

A.
Use a collection of parameterized AWS CloudFormation templates defining common 1AM permissions that are launched into each account. Require all new and existing accounts to launch the appropriate stacks to enforce the least privilege model.

Suggested answer: B, D

Explanation:

Option B is correct because AWS Organizations allows a company to create a new organization from a chosen payer account and define an organizational unit hierarchy. This way, the finance department can have a centralized method for payment but also maintain visibility into each group's spending to allocate costs. The company can also invite the existing accounts to join the organization and create new accounts using Organizations, which simplifies the account management process.

Option D is correct because enabling all features of AWS Organizations and establishing appropriate service control policies (SCPs) that filter IAM permissions for sub-accounts allows the security team to have a centralized mechanism to control IAM usage in all the company's accounts. SCPs are policies that specify the maximum permissions for an organization or organizational unit (OU), and they can be used to restrict access to certain services or actions across all accounts in an organization.

Option A is incorrect because using a collection of parameterized AWS CloudFormation templates defining common IAM permissions that are launched into each account requires more effort than using SCPs. Moreover, it does not provide a centralized mechanism to control IAM usage, as each account would have to launch the appropriate stacks to enforce the least privilege model.

Option C is incorrect because requiring each business unit to use its own AWS accounts does not provide a centralized method for payment or a centralized mechanism to control IAM usage. Tagging each AWS account appropriately and enabling Cost Explorer to administer chargebacks may help with cost allocation, but it is not as efficient as using AWS Organizations.

Option E is incorrect because consolidating all of the company's AWS accounts into a single AWS account does not provide visibility into each group's spending or a way to control IAM usage for different business units. Using tags for billing purposes and the IAM's Access Advisor feature to enforce the least privilege model may help with cost optimization and security, but it is not as scalable or flexible as using AWS Organizations.
