Domain overview
This domain covers securing AI workloads on AWS: encryption of training data, access control, audit logging, and governance of models. Questions are scenario-based, asking you to pick the right AWS service or configuration for PII protection, cross-account access, API auditing, and model lifecycle governance.
Exam objectives
Selecting KMS customer-managed keys and S3 encryption for PII training data at rest
Enabling AWS CloudTrail to capture Bedrock model invocation and guardrail API calls
Using Amazon Macie findings plus bucket policies and IAM roles for cross-account access
Applying SageMaker Model Registry, Model Monitor, and lifecycle policies for governance
Confusing CloudTrail (API activity audit) with CloudWatch (metrics/logs) when asked to audit Bedrock invocations.
Assuming Macie alone grants access; you still need bucket policy and IAM role changes for cross-account reads.
Using AWS-managed keys when policy explicitly requires customer-managed KMS keys for data at rest.
