Answer: Amazon RDS

## Explanation Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service) is the correct choice because: - **Managed Service**: Amazon RDS is a fully managed relational database service that handles routine database tasks such as provisioning, patching, backup, recovery, failure detection, and repair - **Minimizes Administrative Overhead**: With RDS, AWS manages the underlying infrastructure, database engine maintenance, and automated backups, allowing the company to focus on their applications rather than database administration - **Relational Database Support**: RDS supports popular relational database engines including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and MariaDB ### Why not the other options: - **Amazon DynamoDB**: This is a NoSQL database service, not a relational database service - **Amazon EC2**: This requires the company to manage the entire database stack including the operating system, database software, and all maintenance tasks - **Amazon Redshift**: This is a data warehousing service optimized for analytics, not for general-purpose relational database workloads Amazon RDS specifically addresses the requirement to minimize administrative overhead while maintaining relational database functionality.
