AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 734

Which AWS services can a company use to host and run a MySQL database? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Amazon RDS
• B. Amazon DynamoDB
• C. Amazon S3
• D. Amazon EC2
• E. Amazon MQ

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Amazon RDS is a fully managed service designed specifically to host relational databases like MySQL, handling provisioning, patching, and backups automatically. Amazon EC2 can also host a MySQL database by allowing users to install and manage the database software themselves on a virtual server. Other services like DynamoDB (NoSQL), S3 (object storage), and MQ (message broker) do not support hosting a MySQL database.
