AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 618

A company runs a MySQL database in its on-premises data center. The company wants to run a copy of this database in the AWS Cloud.

Which AWS service would support this workload?

Answer options

• A. Amazon RDS
• B. Amazon Neptune
• C. Amazon ElastiCache for Redis
• D. Amazon Quantum Ledger Database (Amazon QLDB)

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service) natively supports MySQL, making it the ideal service for hosting a relational database copy in the AWS Cloud. Other options like Amazon Neptune (graph database), ElastiCache for Redis (in-memory cache), and Amazon QLDB (ledger database) are not designed for standard relational MySQL workloads.
