AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 719

A company wants to deploy an application that stores data in a relational database. The company wants database tasks, such as automated backups and database snapshots, to be managed by AWS.

Which AWS service will meet these requirements?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service) is a managed service designed for relational databases that automates administrative tasks like software patching, automated backups, and database snapshots. Amazon DocumentDB is a non-relational document database service, which does not fit the relational requirement. Amazon EBS and Amazon S3 are storage services, not managed database solutions.
