AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 475

Which AWS service is designed to help users handle large amounts of data in a data warehouse environment?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon Redshift is a fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud designed for high-performance analysis of large datasets. Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora are relational database services optimized for transactional workloads (OLTP) rather than analytical data warehousing. Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service, which is also not designed for traditional data warehousing.
