Option B for the win! Though I have to say, the exam team really likes to make these IAM queries as complicated as possible, don't they?

Haha, looks like the exam writers are trying to trick us with all these 'cloud.resource' and 'json.rule' shenanigans. I'd go with the simplest option, which is B.

Hmm, option B looks good, but shouldn't we use 'AND' instead of 'OR' between the access key and password checks? Just to be sure we get users with both.

Option B it is! But I'm wondering, do we really need to check for both access keys? Wouldn't just one active key be enough?

The query in option B seems a bit convoluted. Shouldn't it be simpler, like just checking for 'access_key_1_active' or 'access_key_2_active' and 'password_enabled'?

Maybe they could simplify it by just checking for 'access_key_1_active' or 'access_key_2_active' and 'password_enabled'.

I'm not sure about the use of 'cloud.resource' in the query. Shouldn't it be 'network' since we're looking for IAM users?

B) config from cloud.resource where api.name = 'aws-iam-get-credential-report' AND json.rule = access_key_1_active is true or access_key_2_active is true and password_enabled equals "true"
