AWS DevOps Engineer Professional DOP-C01 – Question124

A company is beginning to move to the AWS Cloud. Internal customers are classified into two groups according to their AWS skills: beginners and experts. The DevOps Engineer needs to build a solution to allow beginners to deploy a restricted set of AWS architecture blueprints expresses as AWS CloudFormation templates. Deployment should only be possible on predetermined Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). However, expert users should be able to deploy blueprints without constraints. Experts should also be able to access other AWS services, as needed. How can the Engineer implement a solution to meet these requirements with the LEAST amount of overhead?

A.
Apply constraints to the parameters in the templates, limiting the VPCs available for deployments. Store the templates on Amazon S3. Create an IAM group for beginners and give them access to the templates and CloudFormation. Create a separate group for experts, giving them access to the templates, CloudFormation, and other AWS services.
B. Store the templates on Amazon S3. Use AWS Service Catalog to create a portfolio of products based on those templates. Apply template constraints to the products with rules limiting VPCs available for deployments. Create an IAM group for beginners giving them access to the portfolio. Create a separate group for experts giving them access to the templates, CloudFormation, and other AWS services.
C. Store the templates on Amazon S3. Use AWS Service Catalog to create a portfolio of products based on those templates. Create an IAM role restricting VPCs available for creation of AWS resources. Apply a launch constraint to the products using this role. Create an IAM group for beginners giving them access to the portfolio. Create a separate group for experts giving them access to the portfolio and other AWS services.
D. Create two templates for each architecture blueprint where only one of them limits the VPC available for deployments. Store the templates in Amazon DynamoDB. Create an IAM group for beginners giving them access to the constrained templates and CloudFormation. Create a separate group for experts giving them access to the unconstrained templates, CloudFormation, and other AWS services.

Correct Answer: B
