AIF-C01 Practice Question: Security, Compliance, and Governance for AI Solutions
A data scientist wants to restrict which IAM roles can invoke a specific Amazon Bedrock base model. Which AWS feature should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
AIF-C01 often tests the confusion between identity-based IAM policies and resource-based policies — candidates forget that Bedrock models support resource-based policies for fine-grained invocation control.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Bedrock resource-based policy
Amazon Bedrock supports resource-based policies that can be attached to a specific base model or custom model to control which IAM principals (roles, users, accounts) can invoke it. This is the intended mechanism for restricting invocation of a particular Bedrock model to a defined set of IAM roles.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
S3 bucket policy on the model artifacts
Why it's wrong here
S3 bucket policies govern access to objects stored in a bucket, not invocation of a Bedrock base model, whose authorisation is enforced by Bedrock resource policies. They are tempting because model artefacts and custom models often reside in S3, so a bucket policy would be correct if the requirement were protecting those stored artefacts.
- ✓
Bedrock resource-based policy
Why this is correct
Bedrock resource-based policies attach directly to a specific base model, letting you define which principals may invoke it and under what conditions. This satisfies the stem's constraint of restricting IAM roles per model, since identity-based policies alone cannot scope permissions to an individual Bedrock model resource.
- ✗
AWS KMS key policy for the encryption key
Why it's wrong here
A KMS key policy governs who may use a key for cryptographic operations, not who may invoke a Bedrock model; Bedrock authorisation flows through IAM resource policies on the model. It is tempting because KMS policies do control cross-account access to encrypted resources, which would be the right tool if the requirement concerned key usage rather than model invocation.
- ✗
AWS CloudTrail log delivery policy
Why it's wrong here
CloudTrail log delivery policies control which S3 buckets or CloudWatch Logs groups receive trail events; they cannot authorise or deny Bedrock model invocation. They are tempting because CloudTrail records who invoked a model, so it would be the correct choice if the requirement were auditing invocations rather than restricting them.
