Do you need to use Amazon Cognito to use the Amazon Mobile Analytics service?

Answer options

• A. No. However, it is recommend by AWS to use Amazon Cognito for security best practices.
• B. Yes. You need to use it only if you have IAM root access.
• C. No. You cannot use it at all, and you need to use AWS IAM accounts.
• D. Yes. It is recommended by AWS to use Amazon Cognito to use Amazon Mobile Analytics service.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Amazon Cognito is not strictly required to use Amazon Mobile Analytics, but AWS strongly recommends it to securely initialize the SDK with temporary AWS credentials. Using Cognito avoids the high-risk practice of embedding long-term AWS credentials directly inside mobile applications.
