A user is

planning to schedule a backup for an EBS volume. The user wants security of the snapshot data. How can the user achieve data encryption with a snapshot?

A. Use encrypted EBS volumes so that the snapshot will be encrypted by AWS

B. While creating a snaps

hot select the snapshot with encryption

C. By default, the snapshot is encrypted by AWS

D. Enable server side encryption for the snapshot using S3

Explanation:

AWS EBS supports encryption of the volume. It also supports creating volumes from

existing snapshots provided the snapshots are created from encrypted volumes. The data at rest, the I/O as well as all the snapshots of the encrypted EBS will also be encrypted. EBS encryption is based on the AES-256 cryptographic algorithm, which is the i

ndustry standard.
