AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 35

To reduce costs, a company is planning to migrate a NoSQL database to AWS.
Which AWS service is fully managed and can automatically scale throughput capacity to meet database workload demands?

Answer options

• A. Amazon Redshift
• B. Amazon Aurora
• C. Amazon DynamoDB
• D. Amazon RDS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon DynamoDB is the correct answer because it is a fully managed NoSQL database service that can automatically scale to handle varying workload demands. In contrast, Amazon Redshift is a data warehousing solution, Amazon Aurora is a relational database service, and Amazon RDS is also a managed relational database service, none of which offer the same automatic scaling capabilities for NoSQL workloads as DynamoDB.
