AWS Certified Developer – Associate — Question 83

A developer is creating an application. New users of the application must be able to create an account and register by using their own social media accounts.

Which AWS service or resource should the developer use to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. IAM role
• B. Amazon Cognito identity pools
• C. Amazon Cognito user pools
• D. AWS Directory Service

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon Cognito user pools are specifically designed for user authentication and allow users to sign in through social media accounts. While IAM roles manage permissions, Amazon Cognito identity pools focus on granting access to AWS resources, and AWS Directory Service is used for integrating with on-premises directories, making them unsuitable for this requirement.
