Practice Test 4 | AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner | CLF-C01 | Dumps | Mock Test

Correct Answer: D

AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store can be used to store configuration data and secrets securely in a plain or encrypted format. Instead of storing this data along with configuration files, data can be securely stored in the Parameter store and can be referred to by the application code. Encryption for data stored in the Parameter store is provided by using AWS KMS. There is no additional cost incurred for configuration data/secrets stored in the Parameter Store.

• Option A is incorrect as AWS KMS cannot be used to store data. AWS KMS is integrated with AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store for encrypting data stored.
• Option B is incorrect as AWS Systems Manager can be used to perform regular maintenance activities and get operational insights for resources deployed at both AWS Cloud and on-premises locations.
• Option C is incorrect as AWS Secrets Manager can be used to store secrets in an encrypted format with AWS KMS. Storing secrets in AWS Secrets Manager incurs cost and is not free as AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store.
