To speed access to relevant data, many developers pair Amazon S3 with a database, such as Amazon
DynamoDB or Amazon RDS. Amazon S3 stores the actual information, and the database serves as therepository for associated metadata (e.g., object name, size, keywords, and so on). Metadata in the database
can easily be indexed and queried, making it very efficient to locate an object’s reference via a database query.
This result can then be used to pinpoint and then retrieve the object itself from Amazon S3.
B or D, in real life I think S3 would be used, a cloud guru lab uses s3 for this.
D is correct.
I believe low latency means they are pointing towards DynamoDB. S3 is almost correct but best to chose the more correct answer.
S3 is not low latency. You want a database for this. DynamoDB.
