AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 119
A company wants to establish a schedule for rotating database user credentials.
Which AWS service will support this requirement with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?
Answer options
- A. AWS Systems Manager
- B. AWS Secrets Manager
- C. AWS License Manager
- D. AWS Managed Services
Correct answer: B
Explanation
AWS Secrets Manager is designed specifically for managing secrets like database credentials, allowing for automatic rotation with minimal manual intervention. In contrast, AWS Systems Manager primarily focuses on operational tasks, AWS License Manager deals with software licenses, and AWS Managed Services provides ongoing management rather than credential rotation.
