AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 149

A company has an on-premises Oracle database. The company spends a significant amount of time on database administration activities. The company is moving the database to AWS and needs to minimize the time that is required for those administration activities

Which AWS service should the company use to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Amazon ElastiCache
• B. Amazon EC2
• C. Amazon RDS
• D. Amazon DynamoDB

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon RDS is designed to automate many database administration tasks, such as backups, patching, and scaling, making it ideal for reducing management time. In contrast, Amazon EC2 requires manual setup and management of the database environment, while Amazon ElastiCache and Amazon DynamoDB serve different purposes that do not directly address the needs of an Oracle database.
