In this Challenge Lab, you will protect data and other sensitive information in your AWS environment. First, you will create an Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) key pair to provide a secure connection to an instance. Next, you will add the key to the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store by using the AWS Management Console, and then you will upload a key to the Parameter Store by using the AWS Command-Line Interface (CLI). Finally, you will store a set of access key credentials in the AWS Secrets Manager. Note: Once you begin the Challenge Lab, you will not be able to pause, save, or exit and then return to your Challenge Lab. Please ensure that you have set aside enough time to complete the Challenge Lab before you start.
