Which AWS service aggregates, organizes, and prioritizes security alerts and findings from multiple AWS services?
Answer : D
The correct answer is D because AWS Security Hub is a service that aggregates, organizes, and prioritizes security alerts and findings from multiple AWS services, such as Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon Inspector, Amazon Macie, AWS Firewall Manager, and AWS IAM Access Analyzer. The other options are incorrect because they are not services that aggregate security alerts and findings from multiple AWS services. Amazon Detective is a service that helps users analyze and visualize security data to investigate and remediate potential issues. Amazon Inspector is a service that helps users find security vulnerabilities and deviations from best practices in their Amazon EC2 instances. Amazon Macie is a service that helps users discover, classify, and protect sensitive data stored in Amazon S3. Reference:AWS Security Hub FAQs

Which AWS purchasing option will optimize the company's costs?

For example, with Compute Savings Plans, you can change from C4 to M5 instances, shift a workload from EU (Ireland) to EU (London), or move a workload from EC2 to Fargate or Lambda at any time and automatically continue to pay the Savings Plans price.

Which AWS services allow users to monitor and retain records of account activities that include governance, compliance, and auditing?
(Select TWO.)
Answer : A, B
Amazon CloudWatch and AWS CloudTrail are the AWS services that allow users to monitor and retain records of account activities that include governance, compliance, and auditing. Amazon CloudWatch is a service that collects and tracks metrics, collects and monitors log files, and sets alarms. AWS CloudTrail is a service that enables governance, compliance, operational auditing, and risk auditing of your AWS account. Amazon GuardDuty, AWS Shield, and AWS WAF are AWS services that provide security and protection for AWS resources, but they do not monitor and retain records of account activities.These concepts are explained in the AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials course3.

Which AWS service will integrate directly with the event notification?

A company uses a third-party identity provider (IdP). The company wants to provide its employees with access to AWS accounts and services without requiring another set of login credentials.
Which AWS service will meet this requirement?
Answer : C
AWS IAM Identity Center (formerly AWS Single Sign-On or AWS SSO)provides a single sign-on experience for accessing AWS accounts and applications by integrating with third-party identity providers (IdPs) like Microsoft Active Directory, Okta, or any SAML 2.0-compliant IdP. This service allows employees to log in once using their existing corporate credentials managed by the third-party IdP and gain access to multiple AWS accounts and services without needing separate AWS credentials.
Why other options are not suitable:
A . AWS Directory Service: Provides a managed Microsoft Active Directory, but does not directly support single sign-on integration with third-party IdPs.
B . Amazon Cognito: Primarily used for managing authentication for web and mobile apps, not for integrating third-party IdPs for AWS management access.
D . AWS Resource Access Manager (AWS RAM): Used for sharing AWS resources across accounts, not for identity and access management.
