Select an answer
CorrectA
Explanation
A question about identifying the service category that Amazon S3 belongs to.
- 1「Amazon S3」An object storage service
- 2「service category」One of compute / storage / database / networking
BIncorrect
Compute
This is incorrect. Compute is the category for executing processing, like Amazon EC2 and AWS Lambda. S3 stores data — it does not execute processing — so it is not classified under compute.
CIncorrect
Database
This is incorrect. Database is the category for managing and querying structured data, like Amazon RDS and Amazon DynamoDB. S3 stores data as objects and is not a database.
DIncorrect
Networking
This is incorrect. Networking is the category responsible for connectivity and communication, like Amazon VPC and Amazon Route 53. S3 is a data storage service and is not a networking service.
Key Takeaway
Major categories and representative examples: Compute (EC2 / Lambda) / Storage (S3 / EBS / EFS) / Database (RDS / DynamoDB) / Networking (VPC / Route 53 / CloudFront). S3 is storage.
