___________ is a task coordination and state management service for cloud applications.

Answer options

• A. Amazon SWF
• B. Amazon FPS
• C. Amazon SES
• D. Amazon SNS

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Amazon SWF (Simple Workflow Service) is specifically built to coordinate work across distributed application components and manage their execution state. In contrast, Amazon SNS is used for pub/sub messaging, Amazon SES is for email sending, and Amazon FPS is a legacy payment service, none of which offer task coordination or state tracking.
