AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 562

A company wants to run relationship databases in the AWS Cloud. The company wants to use a managed service that will install the database and run regular software updates.

Which AWS service will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Amazon S3
• B. Amazon RDS
• C. Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
• D. Amazon DynamoDB

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Amazon RDS is a managed service designed for relational databases that automates administrative tasks such as installation, configuration, and software patching. In contrast, Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL (non-relational) database, while Amazon S3 and Amazon EBS are storage services rather than managed relational database engines.
