Start Security PracticeA cloud engineer is configuring a web application on AWS and needs to ensure that only HTTP and HTTPS traffic from the internet is allowed to reach the EC2 instances. Which AWS service should be used to control inbound traffic at the instance level?

A security administrator needs to enforce least privilege for a Kubernetes cluster in a cloud environment. Which approach should be used to restrict permissions for pods that need to access the cloud provider's API?
Explanation: Using a service account with a role that has minimal permissions and attaching it to the pod ensures least privilege for pod-to-cloud API access.
