Question 730
In an AWS networking assessment, a security administrator wants proof of which IAM principal changed a VPC route table at a specific time. Which technical explanation BEST accounts for the observed condition?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A management-plane audit trail attributes configuration changes, unlike aggregated data-plane flow records. This explains the observed network behavior, which can be checked by verifying that the route change is linked to the responsible principal and request parameters.
Incorrect Answers
Configuration history provides a time series of supported resource states beyond the current console view. For the stated conditions, a management-plane audit trail attributes configuration changes, unlike aggregated data-plane flow records. The more specific mechanism is cloudTrail management events record supported AWS API operations with actor, time and request context.
Management event routing detects control changes without inspecting payload traffic. The decisive technical distinction is cloudTrail management events record supported AWS API operations with actor, time and request context; a management-plane audit trail attributes configuration changes, unlike aggregated data-plane flow records.
Continuous configuration assessment complements packet monitoring by measuring deployed control state. For the stated conditions, a management-plane audit trail attributes configuration changes, unlike aggregated data-plane flow records. The more specific mechanism is cloudTrail management events record supported AWS API operations with actor, time and request context.
