Question
A company is running a highly sensitive application on Amazon EC2 backed by an Amazon RDS database Compliance regulations mandate that all personally identifiable information (Pll) be encrypted at rest. Which solution should a solutions architect recommend to meet this requirement with the LEAST amount of changes to the infrastructure?
Options

Explanation
Default EBS Encryption: Can be enabled for new EBS volumes. Use of AWS KMS: Specify AWS KMS keys to handle encryption and decryption of data transparently. Amazon RDS Encryption: RDS Encryption: Encrypts the underlying storage for RDS instances using AWS KMS. Configuration: Enable encryption when creating the RDS instance or modify an existing instance to enable encryption. Least Amount of Changes: Both EBS and RDS support seamless encryption with AWS KMS, requiring minimal changes to the existing infrastructure. Enables compliance with regulatory requirements without modifying the application. Operational Efficiency: Using AWS KMS for both EBS and RDS ensures a consistent, managed approach to encryption, simplifying key management and enhancing security.
