Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Correct option:

Amazon Cognito

Amazon Cognito lets you add user sign-up, sign-in, and access control to your web and mobile apps quickly and easily. With Amazon Cognito, you also have the option to authenticate users through social identity providers such as Facebook, Twitter, or Amazon, with SAML identity solutions, or by using your own identity system.

Incorrect options:

AWS Identity and Access Management (AWS IAM) - AWS Identity and Access Management (AWS IAM) enables you to securely control access to AWS services and resources for your users. Using IAM, you can create and manage AWS users and groups, and use permissions to allow and deny their access to AWS resources. It does not provide user sign-up, sign-in, and access control to web and mobile applications.

AWS IAM Identity Center - AWS IAM Identity Center is the successor to AWS Single Sign-On. It is built on top of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to simplify access management to multiple AWS accounts, AWS applications, and other SAML-enabled cloud applications. In IAM Identity Center, you create, or connect, your workforce users for use across AWS. You can choose to manage access just to your AWS accounts, just to your cloud applications, or to both.

AWS Organizations - AWS Organizations offers policy-based management for multiple AWS accounts. With AWS Organizations, you can create groups of accounts, automate account creation, and apply and manage policies for those groups. Organizations enable you to centrally manage policies across multiple accounts, without requiring custom scripts and manual processes. It does not provide user sign-up, sign-in, and access control to web and mobile applications.
