How does the AWS IAM policy evaluation logic resolve conflicting Allow and Deny statements across multiple policies?

Evaluation starts with an implicit Deny. An explicit Deny in any applicable policy (SCP, resource-based policy, permissions boundary, session policy, or identity-based policy) always overrides any explicit Allow.

What is the architectural difference between an IAM Identity-Based Policy and a Resource-Based Policy?

Identity-based policies attach to IAM users, groups, or roles to define what actions that principal can perform. Resource-based policies attach directly to a resource (such as an S3 bucket, SQS queue, or KMS key) and include a Principal element specifying who can access it.

How do a process and a thread differ in a typical operating system?

A process is a resource and protection container with its own virtual address space. Threads within it share that address space and resources such as open files, but each has its own execution state, including registers, program counter and stack. Separate processes can explicitly share memory.

What state is saved and restored during a CPU context switch?

The operating system preserves the outgoing task’s execution state, such as registers, program counter and stack pointer, and restores the incoming task’s state. Address-space state is changed when needed; switching between threads of one process need not change the page-table root. Exact saved state depends on the architecture and implementation.

Niveau	Recto (Question / Terme)	Verso (Réponse / Explication)
`basic`	How does the AWS IAM policy evaluation logic resolve conflicting Allow and Deny statements across multiple policies?	Evaluation starts with an implicit Deny. An explicit Deny in any applicable policy (SCP, resource-based policy, permissions boundary, session policy, or identity-based policy) always overrides any explicit Allow.
`basic`	What is the architectural difference between an IAM Identity-Based Policy and a Resource-Based Policy?	Identity-based policies attach to IAM users, groups, or roles to define what actions that principal can perform. Resource-based policies attach directly to a resource (such as an S3 bucket, SQS queue, or KMS key) and include a Principal element specifying who can access it.
`intermediate`	How many IP addresses does AWS reserve in every VPC subnet CIDR block, and what are those five addresses used for?	AWS reserves 5 IP addresses in every subnet (first 4 and last 1). For example, in 10.0.0.0/24: .0 is the network address, .1 is reserved for the VPC router, .2 is reserved for the AWS DNS server, .3 is reserved for future use, and .255 is the network broadcast address.
`intermediate`	Compare Security Groups and Network Access Control Lists (NACLs) in Amazon VPC.	Security Groups operate at the ENI/instance level, are stateful (return traffic is automatically allowed regardless of outbound rules), and support Allow rules only. NACLs operate at the subnet boundary, are stateless (both inbound and outbound return traffic on ephemeral ports must be explicitly permitted), and support numbered Allow and Deny rules evaluated in order.
`advanced`	How do a process and a thread differ in a typical operating system?	A process is a resource and protection container with its own virtual address space. Threads within it share that address space and resources such as open files, but each has its own execution state, including registers, program counter and stack. Separate processes can explicitly share memory.
`advanced`	What state is saved and restored during a CPU context switch?	The operating system preserves the outgoing task’s execution state, such as registers, program counter and stack pointer, and restores the incoming task’s state. Address-space state is changed when needed; switching between threads of one process need not change the page-table root. Exact saved state depends on the architecture and implementation.
