A company is operating internal microservices on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) using the Amazon EC2 launch type. They are utilizing Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) private repositories. A security engineer has been tasked with ensuring that these private repositories are encrypted using AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) and that the container images are scanned for common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs). Which of the following solutions will effectively meet these security requirements?
Explanation:
The correct answer is option B. To meet the requirements of encrypting the ECR private repositories with AWS KMS and analyzing the container images for CVEs, you need to recreate the ECR repositories with both KMS encryption and ECR scanning enabled. Once the repositories are recreated, the scan report can be analyzed after the next push of images to ensure they are free of vulnerabilities. The other options either do not fully address the requirements or use services that are not relevant to the task.
