A. Amazon Cognito User Pools
B. Amazon Cognito Identity Pools
C. AWS Single Sign-On
D. AWS IAM
Correct Answer: A
Amazon Cognito User Pools is a managed service which can be used to manage user authentication to mobile applications. It can scale up to millions of users. It supports direct user sign-in as well as federated users using social and enterprise identity providers.
- Option B is incorrect as Amazon Cognito Identity Pools are used to provide privilege credentials for accessing AWS services. Amazon Cognito User pools are used for authenticating users while identity pools will provide authorization for accessing AWS resources.
- Option C is incorrect as AWS Single Sign-On is best suited for authenticating employees for accessing AWS services & is not useful for authenticating users to access mobile applications.
- Option D is incorrect as AWS IAM is used to control access to AWS services or resources. It is not suited for authenticating large numbers of users to mobile applications.
