What I have learned about Security on AWS

This is the eleventh post of content for preparing yourself for becoming an AWS Solutions Architect Associate.

In this post, we are going to focus on security features within AWS.

As I have done previously let’s look at the similarities and differences to the closest equivalent in Azure. As I go through this section, I will point out some of the similar platforms.

Reducing Security Threats

Key Management Service

CloudHSM

System Manager Parameter Store

Secrets Manager

Note: There are elements in KMS, CloudHSM, System Manager Parameter Store, and Secrets Manager that are found within Azure Key Vault and App Configuration, which both work together in the Azure architecture.

AWS Shield

Web Application Firewall

AWS Firewall Manager

I hope that you are enjoying this information so far. It is helping me to continue to comprehend these services as I prepare for the exam myself. Thank you very much.
