AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 822

Which AWS service should be used when a company needs to provide its remote employees with virtual desktops?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Amazon WorkSpaces is a fully managed, secure cloud desktop service that allows organizations to provision virtual desktops for remote workers. AWS Directory Service is used for managing active directory domains, while IAM and AWS IAM Identity Center handle access control and single sign-on, respectively, rather than hosting virtual desktops.
