AIF-C01 Practice Question: A developer is using Amazon Bedrock Agents to…
A developer is using Amazon Bedrock Agents to build a multi-step reasoning bot that can query a SQL database and summarize results. Which service should be integrated as the action group's Lambda function to execute SQL queries?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse DynamoDB's PartiQL support with full SQL, but PartiQL is a limited SQL-compatible query language and DynamoDB remains a NoSQL database not designed for complex SQL joins or aggregations typical of multi-step reasoning tasks.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Amazon Aurora
Amazon Aurora is correct because it is a fully managed SQL-compatible relational database that can be queried using standard SQL. The Lambda function in the action group can use the boto3 library to execute SQL queries against Aurora, enabling the Bedrock Agent to retrieve and summarize data from a SQL database.
