PAS-C01 Technology Practice Question

An SAP system needs to send email notifications from the SAP application server running on EC2. Which AWS service should be used?

⚠ Common exam trap

Many candidates confuse SNS with SES because both can send email, but SNS is a pub/sub messaging service with limited email formatting and no SMTP support, whereas SES is the correct service for application-to-user transactional email.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES)

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is the correct choice because it is a cloud-based email sending service designed specifically for sending transactional and notification emails from applications, including SAP systems running on EC2. SES supports SMTP and API-based integration, allowing the SAP application server to send outbound email notifications reliably without managing on-premises email infrastructure.
