Which AWS feature lets a responder capture an immutable EBS volume snapshot for forensic analysis of a compromised EC2 instance?
ADisabling CloudTrail
BEBS snapshot of the affected volume (stored in a forensic account with S3 Object Lock for immutability)
CDeleting the volume
DLive `rm -rf /var/log` to clean evidence
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. EBS snapshot of the affected volume (stored in a forensic account with S3 Object Lock for immutability)
EBS snapshot + S3 Object Lock preserves forensics (per SCS-C02 §1.3). The other options destroy evidence.
