A company’s application team needs to host a MySQL database on AWS. According to the company’s security policy, all data that is stored on AWS must be encrypted at rest. In addition, all cryptographic material must be compliant with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation.

B. Host the database on Amazon RDS. Use Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) for encryption. Use an AWS managed CMK in AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) for key management.
C. Host the database on an Amazon EC2 instance. Use Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) for encryption. Use a customer managed CMK in AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) for key management.
D. Host the database on an Amazon EC2 instance. Use Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) for encryption and key management.
