AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 187

A company needs a low-code, visual workflow service that developers can use to build distributed applications.

Which AWS service is designed to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS Step Functions
• B. AWS Config
• C. AWS Lambda
• D. Amazon CloudWatch

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Step Functions is specifically created for building visual workflows and allows developers to orchestrate distributed applications. In contrast, AWS Config is used for resource compliance, AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service, and Amazon CloudWatch is primarily for monitoring and logging, making them unsuitable for this purpose.
