The correct answer is A. AWS Managed Services is designed to offload the operational burden of managing infrastructure in the cloud. By using AWS Managed Services, the IT team can focus on higher-value tasks such as application development and innovation, while AWS takes care of the day-to-day operational tasks such as provisioning, patching, monitoring, and backup. This allows the company to reduce operational overhead and improve the overall efficiency of its IT operations, leveraging AWS's expertise in managing cloud environments.
