This AIF-C01 practice question tests your understanding of applications of foundation models. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A company uses Amazon Bedrock to build a conversational AI. They want to enforce role-based access to the model. Which AWS service should they use?
AWS Config
Why wrong: Config evaluates resource configurations against rules, not for enforcing access.
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
IAM policies can control which users or roles can invoke specific Bedrock models.
AWS CloudTrail
Why wrong: CloudTrail logs API calls for auditing, not for access control.
AWS Organizations
Why wrong: Organizations manages multiple AWS accounts, not granular access to models.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the correct service because it enables fine-grained, role-based access control (RBAC) to Amazon Bedrock models. You can define IAM policies that specify which principals (users, groups, or roles) are allowed to invoke specific foundation models, ensuring that only authorized roles can interact with the conversational AI.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
AWS Config
Why it's wrong here
Config evaluates resource configurations against rules, not for enforcing access.
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Why this is correct
IAM policies can control which users or roles can invoke specific Bedrock models.

AWS CloudTrail
Why it's wrong here
CloudTrail logs API calls for auditing, not for access control.
AWS Organizations
Why it's wrong here
Organizations manages multiple AWS accounts, not granular access to models.
Common exam traps
The trap here is that candidates often confuse AWS Config (which audits configurations) or CloudTrail (which logs actions) with IAM, mistakenly thinking that logging or compliance tools can enforce access control, when in fact only IAM provides the authorization layer for Bedrock model invocation.
Detailed technical explanation
Under the hood, IAM policies for Bedrock use the `bedrock:InvokeModel` and `bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream` actions, often scoped to specific model ARNs (e.g., `arn:aws:bedrock:us-east-1::foundation-model/anthropic.claude-v2`). This allows administrators to enforce least-privilege access, such as granting a customer support role access only to a specific conversational model while denying access to more powerful generative models. In a real-world scenario, combining IAM with Bedrock's service-linked roles ensures that the conversational AI can only be invoked by authenticated and authorized users, preventing unauthorized model usage and data leakage.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
