Which AWS service will meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Amazon DynamoDB
• B. Amazon RDS
• C. Amazon Redshift
• D. Amazon ElastiCache

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon Redshift is a fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud, making it the ideal choice for large-scale analytical workloads. Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL database, Amazon RDS is a relational database service meant for transactional workloads, and Amazon ElastiCache is an in-memory data store, none of which are designed for petabyte-scale data warehousing.
