Imagine a scenario where a Security Architect has created an Amazon CloudWatch event that triggers a Lambda function on a daily schedule. The Lambda function executes an Amazon Athena query that scrutinizes AWS CloudTrail logs stored in an Amazon S3 bucket, searching for any newly created IAM user accounts or credentials within the past month. The results obtained from the Athena query are then stored back into the same S3 bucket. When the Lambda function is tested through the AWS Console, it works fine. However, after several minutes, the Architect observes that the Athena query failed due to 'Insufficient Permissions'. Given the IAM permissions of the Security Architect and the Lambda function provided below, can you identify the cause of the problem?

As an IAM user, you have full EC2 permissions. However, you have recently encountered an issue where you could not start an Amazon EC2 instance after it was stopped for maintenance. During the startup process, the instance state briefly changes to 'Pending', then reverts back to 'Stopped'. On investigation, you notice the instance has Amazon EBS volumes attached that were encrypted using a Customer Master Key (CMK). When these encrypted volumes were detached, you were able to start the EC2 instances. The IAM policy is as follows:

Your company's EC2 instances are governed by complex connectivity rules for ingress, egress, and inter-instance communication. These rules exceed the maximum limits of security groups and network access control lists (NACLs). How can you implement the required network rules without additional costs?
