SAP-C02 Practice Question: Design Solutions for Organizational Complexity
A global company with a centralized IT team manages AWS resources across 50 accounts using AWS Control Tower. The team wants to deploy a new VPC with a specific CIDR block in each account in the same AWS Region. The VPC must have identical configuration across accounts. Which approach is the MOST efficient and meets the requirement?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM) for creating separate VPCs in each account versus sharing a single VPC, and misunderstanding that SCPs only control permissions, not resource creation.
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
✓
Use AWS Control Tower account factory and AWS CloudFormation StackSets to deploy the VPC across all accounts.
AWS Control Tower's Account Factory combined with AWS CloudFormation StackSets enables automated, centralized deployment of identical VPC configurations across all 50 accounts in the same Region. StackSets allow you to deploy a CloudFormation template to multiple accounts and Regions from a single administrator account, ensuring consistency without manual intervention.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use AWS CloudFormation templates manually triggered in each account.
Why it's wrong here
Manual triggering is inefficient and does not scale well for 50 accounts.
- ✗
Create a VPC in one account and share it with other accounts using AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM).
Why it's wrong here
Sharing a VPC provides a single VPC, not separate identical VPCs per account.
- ✓
Use AWS Control Tower account factory and AWS CloudFormation StackSets to deploy the VPC across all accounts.
Why this is correct
Control Tower account factory with StackSets automates deployment of identical resources across accounts.
- ✗
Use AWS Organizations to create the VPC in each account via an SCP.
Why it's wrong here
SCPs are for permissions, not resource provisioning.
