Question 35
Domain 3: Cloud Technology and ServicesWhich AWS managed service is used to host databases?
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Amazon RDS is AWS’s managed relational database service, used to “host databases” without managing the underlying infrastructure. The source notes AWS managed services handle “patch management, monitoring, event management,” which matches RDS’s managed database role.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. AWS Batch.
B. AWS Artifact.
C. AWS Data Pipeline.
D. Amazon RDS.
Amazon RDS is the AWS service specifically designed for relational database hosting, with AWS handling provisioning, backups, patching, and maintenance under the managed-service model described in the source. By contrast, the other listed services are for cost management, governance, or operations, not database hosting, so the database-specific managed platform is the only fit here.
