Explanation
AWS Backup is a fully managed service that allows organizations to centralize and automate the backup of data across multiple AWS services, including Amazon RDS, Amazon EBS, and Amazon DynamoDB. It supports cross-account management, making it ideal for use cases where backups need to be centralized across multiple AWS accounts. This makes it the most suitable solution for the given scenario.
- A. Correct.
AWS Backup is the correct choice because it is specifically designed to centralize and automate backup tasks for various AWS services, including Amazon RDS, Amazon EBS, and Amazon DynamoDB. It also supports multi-account backup management.
- B. Incorrect.
AWS CloudFormation is incorrect because it is used for provisioning and managing AWS resources through infrastructure as code, not for backup purposes.
- C. Incorrect.
Amazon S3 is incorrect because it is a storage service and does not provide centralized backup automation across multiple AWS services.
- D. Incorrect.
AWS DataSync is incorrect because it is designed for data transfer between storage systems, not for managing backups across AWS services.
