AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 388

In AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), you can make use of the ______ APIs to grant users temporary access to your resources.

Answer options

• A. AWS Security Transport Service (STS)
• B. AWS Security Tree Service (STS)
• C. AWS Security Task Service (STS)
• D. AWS Security Token Service (STS)

Correct answer: D

Explanation

AWS Security Token Service (STS) is the correct service that enables you to request temporary, limited-privilege credentials for AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users or federated users. The other options (Transport, Tree, and Task Service) are incorrect because they are fabricated names and do not represent actual AWS services.
