AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 157

A company is developing a new web application. The company must give users the ability to log in to the application through social identity providers.

Which AWS service will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS Directory Service
• B. Amazon Cognito
• C. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
• D. AWS Single Sign-On

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Amazon Cognito is specifically designed to provide authentication through social identity providers, making it the correct choice. AWS Directory Service is meant for directory-based authentication, IAM manages permissions and access, and AWS Single Sign-On focuses on centralizing access management, none of which directly offer social login functionality.
