Answer: RDS PostGreSQL, RDS MySQL
You can authenticate to your DB instance using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) database authentication. With this authentication method, you don't need to use a password when you connect to a DB instance. Instead, you use an authentication token. An authentication token is a unique string of characters that Amazon RDS generates on request. Each token has a lifetime of 15 minutes. You don't need to store user credentials in the database, because authentication is managed externally using IAM. RDS MySQL - IAM database authentication works with MySQL and PostgreSQL engines for Aurora as well as MySQL, MariaDB and RDS PostgreSQL engines for RDS. RDS PostGreSQL - IAM database authentication works with MySQL and PostgreSQL engines for Aurora as well as MySQL, MariaDB and RDS PostgreSQL engines for RDS. Incorrect options: RDS Oracle RDS SQL Server These two options contradict the details in the explanation above, so these are incorrect. RDS Db2 - This option has been added as a distractor. Db2 is a family of data management products, including database servers, developed by IBM. RDS does not support Db2 database engine.
