These services differ in terms of their primary use cases and functionality.
SES is primarily used to send emails and is designed to make it easy for developers to send bulk emails or transactional emails to their customers. It allows you to send emails using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) or the AWS SDKs for various programming languages. SES can also be used to receive incoming emails and process them using AWS Lambda or Amazon S3.
SNS, on the other hand, is a messaging service that can be used to send notifications to a large number of subscribers or endpoints. It allows you to publish messages to topics that can be subscribed to by multiple recipients or endpoints. SNS supports a variety of transport protocols such as HTTP, Amazon SQS, email, and mobile push notifications. When a message is published to a topic, it is delivered to all the subscribed endpoints that are interested in receiving that message.
Based on the above explanation, the correct answer to the question is A. SES is used to send communications via email while SNS is messaging applications to push notifications with various transport protocols like HTTP, Amazon SQS & email. This option highlights the key difference between the two services: SES is primarily designed for sending emails, while SNS is used to send notifications to a variety of endpoints using various transport protocols.
Option B is incorrect because SES is not used to send communications via HTTP. Option C is incorrect because SNS is not used to poll notifications, it is used to push notifications. Option D is incorrect because SES is not used to send communications via Amazon SQS.
