Last verified against current AWS documentation ·How we write our questions

A bakery's website sends order receipts and a monthly newsletter by email.

The bakery wants the emails to come from its own domain name, so customers see its brand.

Which AWS service is designed for sending these emails?

Choose one answer.

  1. A. Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES), a service for sending email
  2. B. Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS), a message queue for applications
  3. C. Amazon EventBridge, a service that routes events between applications
  4. D. AWS IoT Core, a service that connects internet-connected devices
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: A

  • A. Right: SES sends transactional and marketing email. After you verify your domain, emails can come from any address on that domain. Learn more: Creating and verifying identities in Amazon SES (opens in a new tab)
  • B. Wrong: SQS holds messages for other services to process. It does not send email to customers.
  • C. Wrong: EventBridge routes events from sources to targets. It does not send email to customers by itself.
  • D. Wrong: IoT Core connects devices to AWS over protocols such as MQTT. It is built for devices, not for sending email.

Explanation

Amazon SES is AWS's email sending service, and verifying the bakery's domain lets its emails come from that domain. The other services handle queued messages, event routing or devices, so none of them sends email to customers.
