Answer options

• A. Yes, Amazon does this but only for MySQL RDS.
• B. Yes

• D. Yes, Amazon does this but only for Oracle RDS.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Amazon RDS API fully supports modifying DB instances inside a VPC, including the ability to associate them with specific security groups.

Therefore, the API allows these modifications universally across supported database engines.
