A company wants to improve its security and audit posture by limiting Amazon EC2 inbound access.
What should the company use to access instances remotely instead of opening inbound SSH ports and managing SSH keys?
A. EC2 key pairs
B. AWS Systems Manager Session Manager
C. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
D. Network ACLs
Solution
Correct answer: B. AWS Systems Manager Session Manager.
AWS Systems Manager Session Manager allows you to securely access your Amazon EC2 instances without needing to open inbound SSH ports or manage SSH keys. It provides a secure and auditable way to connect to your instances, improving security and compliance. The other options do not provide the same level of secure remote access without opening inbound ports.
