Selected Answer: C

Even though at first answer B looks correct, answer C is better... these are developers and not anything else. It's a tricky question.

Selected Answer: B

A - Sharing IAM user credentials is a security risk and violates AWS best practices. B - IAM roles allow for temporary credentials that can be automatically rotated, and that improves security. C - Would work but managing static keys for multiple developers introduces significant operational overhead. D - AWS Cognito is primarily designed for managing end-user authentication (for web or mobile apps or such), not for managing access to AWS resources for developers.

it says " team of developers " . they are not in the company's AWS account. how do you want to apply IAM roles without defining users ? I think C is the answer

also, roles can not assign to user/group . you need to make a policy from IAM roles first then assign policies to user/group

Selected Answer: D

A is wrong, common sense not security B is wrong, role cannot assign to user/group D is wrong, is designed for authentication and access control for web or mobile app users, not for internal developers accessing AWS resources. so remain C.
