Explanation

To integrate an Amazon Web Services (AWS) account with Microsoft Defender for Cloud, you can leverage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions to deploy the necessary permissions within AWS.

Common mistakes.

  • A. AWS Systems Manager Automation is used for automating operational tasks within an AWS account and is not a direct deployment method for configuring cross-cloud access for an Azure service like Defender for Cloud.
  • C. An Azure deployment stack is an Azure-native feature for managing Azure resources and their lifecycle, not for configuring access or deploying resources within a separate AWS account.
  • D. An Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template is used for deploying and managing Azure resources, and it cannot directly deploy or configure resources like IAM roles within an AWS account.
