AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 815

What does Amazon IAM stand for?

Answer options

• A. Amazon Identity and Authentication Mechanism
• B. Amazon Integrated Access Management
• C. Amazon Identity and Access Management
• D. None of these

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Amazon IAM stands for Amazon Identity and Access Management, which is a service that helps you securely control access to AWS resources. Other choices like 'Identity and Authentication Method' or 'Integrated Access System' are incorrect terms that do not represent this AWS service. Therefore, option C is the correct definition of the acronym.
