AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 906

Which task is an AWS responsibility when a workload is running in Amazon RDS?

Answer options

• A. Creating the database table
• B. Updating the database schema
• C. Installing the database engine
• D. Dropping the database records

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon RDS is a fully managed service where AWS takes care of the underlying infrastructure, including provisioning hardware and installing the database engine. Tasks related to data management, such as defining schemas, creating tables, and manipulating records, remain the user's responsibility. Therefore, software installation is handled by AWS, while data-level operations are handled by the customer.
