The external services require authentication credentials. The application is deployed using AWS CloudFormation to three separate environments: development, test, and production. Each environment requires unique credentials for external services.<br \/>\nWhat option securely provides the application with the needed credentials while requiring MINIMAL administrative overhead? <br \/><strong><br \/>A.<\/strong> Pass the credentials for the target environment to the CloudFormation template as parameters. Use the user data script to insert the parameterized credentials into the EC2 instances. <br \/><strong>B.<\/strong> Store the credentials as secure strings in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store. Pass an environment tag as a parameter to the CloudFormation template. Use the user data script to insert the environment tag in the EC2 instances. Access the credentials from the application. <br \/><strong>C.<\/strong> Create a separate CloudFormation template for each environment. In the Resources section, include a user data script for each EC2 instance. Use the user data script to insert the proper credentials for the environment into the EC2 instances. <br \/><strong>D.<\/strong> Create separate Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) with the required credentials for each environment.
