What is the primary purpose of AWS Key Management Service (KMS)?

  1. To create and manage encryption keys

  2. To manage user access and permissions

  3. To store and manage objects

  4. To create and manage virtual networks

The correct answer is: To create and manage encryption keys

The primary purpose of AWS Key Management Service (KMS) is to create and manage encryption keys. This service allows users to securely generate, store, and control encryption keys that are used to protect data and resources within AWS. This option is incorrect because managing user access and permissions is the primary purpose of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). Storing and managing objects is the primary purpose of AWS Simple Storage Service (S3), and creating and managing virtual networks is the primary purpose of AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
