AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 927

A user needs to quickly deploy a non-relational database on AWS. The user does not want to manage the underlying hardware or the database software.
Which AWS service can be used to accomplish this?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed, serverless, non-relational NoSQL database service that eliminates the need to provision, patch, or manage servers. In contrast, Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora are relational database services, while Amazon Redshift is a data warehousing service designed for analytical queries rather than transactional non-relational workloads.
