What is the purpose of Amazon API Gateway?

To create, publish, maintain, and monitor APIs
To store and manage objects
To create and manage virtual networks
To manage user access and permissions

The correct answer is: To create, publish, maintain, and monitor APIs

Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that helps you create, publish, maintain, and monitor your APIs at any scale. This enables you to securely expose your application endpoints for serverless backends, and to define an API with the desired HTTP methods, request authentication type, and pass request parameters to be used on the backend server. Option B is incorrect because it refers to the purpose of Amazon S3, a storage service. Option C is incorrect as it refers to the purpose of Amazon VPC, a virtual network service. Option D is incorrect because it refers to the purpose of AWS IAM, an access and permissions management service.
