D. Define the tags on the test and production servers and add a condition to the IAM policy which allows access to specific tags

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Explanation: AWS Identity and Access Management is a web service which allows organizations to manage users and user permissions for various AWS services. The user can add conditions as a part of the IAM policies. The condition can be set on AWS Tags, Time, and Client IP as well as on various parameters. If the organization wants the user to access only specific instances he should define proper tags and add to the IAM policy condition. The sample policy is shown below.
