What is the purpose of Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)?

To send notifications to various protocols and endpoints
To manage DNS records
To decouple the components of a cloud application by transmitting messages between them
To create serverless workflows

The correct answer is: To decouple the components of a cloud application by transmitting messages between them

Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a messaging service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that allows developers to decouple different components of a cloud application. This means that instead of having components directly communicate with each other, they can use SQS to send messages between them. This can help to improve the reliability and scalability of cloud applications. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the purpose of SQS. Option A refers to Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS), which is used for sending notifications. Option B refers to Route 53, AWS's DNS service. Option D refers to AWS Step Functions, which is used for creating serverless workflows.
