A. B. C. D.Answer: A.
AWS Directory Service provides Microsoft Active Directory (AD) directory service that can be used to create an Active Directory environment in the AWS cloud.
Other applications can join the provided domain and access the RDS for SQL Server instances in that same domain.
Therefore,
Option A is CORRECT, and all other options are incorrect.

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/integrate-amazon-rds-for-sql-server-db-instances-with-an-existing-active-directory-domain/ https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_SQLServerWinAuth.htmlThe service that would enable the solution architect to integrate an Amazon RDS for SQL Server instance with an existing Active Directory Domain is AWS Directory Service.
AWS Directory Service is a managed service that allows you to connect your AWS resources with an existing on-premises Microsoft Active Directory or to set up a new, standalone directory in the AWS Cloud.
In this case, the solution architect can use AWS Directory Service to connect the Amazon RDS for SQL Server instance with the existing Active Directory Domain. By doing so, users and applications can use their existing Active Directory credentials to access the Amazon RDS instance.
AWS Single Sign-On (SSO) is a service that enables you to centrally manage access to multiple AWS accounts and business applications. AWS SSO is not directly related to integrating Amazon RDS for SQL Server with an Active Directory Domain.
AWS Cognito is a service that allows you to add user sign-up, sign-in, and access control to your web and mobile apps quickly and easily. While AWS Cognito supports user authentication and authorization, it is not specifically designed to integrate with Active Directory Domains.
Amazon WorkLink is a service that enables secure, one-click access to internal websites and applications from mobile devices. Amazon WorkLink is not related to integrating Amazon RDS for SQL Server with an Active Directory Domain.
