To get objects from an S3 bucket that are encrypted with a KMS customer managed key, the security team needs to have the following factors in place:

The IAM instance profile that is attached to the EC2 instance must allow the s3:GetObject action to the S3 bucket or object in the AWS account. This permission is required to read the object from S3. Option A is incorrect because it specifies the s3:ListBucket action, which is only required to list the objects in the bucket, not to get them.

The KMS key policy that encrypts the object in the S3 bucket must allow the kms:Decrypt action to the EC2 instance profile ARN. This permission is required to decrypt the object using the KMS key. Option D is correct.

The security group that is attached to the EC2 instance must have an outbound rule to the S3 managed prefix list over port 443. This rule is required to allow HTTPS traffic from the EC2 instance to S3 within the AWS infrastructure. Option E is correct. Option B is incorrect because it specifies the s3:ListParts action, which is only required for multipart uploads, not for getting objects. Option C is incorrect because it specifies the kms:ListKeys action, which is not required for getting objects. Option F is incorrect because it specifies an inbound rule from the S3 managed prefix list, which is not required for getting objects. Verified Reference:

Actually, I believe options C and D are also important to consider. The KMS key policy could be preventing access.

I agree with Josue. The IAM instance profile and security group rules seem like common causes of such issues.

I also think the missing outbound rule in the security group could be causing the issue.

Yeah, I agree. That could definitely be one of the factors causing the problem.

I think the issue could be because the IAM instance profile does not allow the s3 ListBucket action.

Haha, I bet the security team is pulling their hair out trying to figure this one out. I'm guessing they've already checked the obvious stuff, like the security group and IAM permissions.

Maybe they missed setting up the outbound rule in the security group?

I agree, they should also review the KMS key policy to see if there are any restrictions.

Yep, they probably need to double-check the IAM instance profile permissions.

Yeah, we need to make sure the instance profile has the necessary permissions to interact with the S3 bucket and the KMS key.

Hmm, yeah, the KMS key policy is a good point. And don't forget about the security group - it might be missing the right rules to allow the traffic to and from S3.

Ah, I see. The IAM instance profile and the KMS key policy are likely the culprits here.

You're probably right, they've likely gone through the basics. But you know what they say, 'the devil is in the details' when it comes to AWS security.

That's a good point. We need to focus on the permissions and configurations within the AWS environment.

Wow, this is a tricky one. Let's see, we need to select three factors that could be causing the issue. I'm guessing the IAM instance profile permissions might be the culprit, since the team is unable to get objects from the S3 bucket.

The key thing here is that the traffic is restricted to the AWS infrastructure, so the public internet is not an issue.
