Correct answer & explanation
✓
Amazon RDS for Oracle
(Amazon RDS for Oracle) is correct because it manages the Oracle database, reducing operational overhead compared to self-managed EC2. Option C (AWS Elastic Beanstalk) is correct because it automatically handles the deployment and scaling of the web and application servers, reducing operational overhead. Option B (Amazon Lightsail) is not suitable for complex multi-tier applications. Option D (Amazon EC2) would increase operational overhead as it requires manual management. Option E (Amazon DynamoDB) is a NoSQL database and not suitable for migrating an Oracle database.
