A developer is working on enhancing applications at AWS. The developer needs a service that can securely host GitHub-based code, repositories, and version controls. Which AWS service should the developer use?

AWS CodeCommit is a fully managed source control service that hosts secure and private Git repositories. It eliminates the need to operate your own source control system or worry about scaling its infrastructure. CodeCommit is designed for teams to collaborate on code in a secure and highly scalable ecosystem, making it the ideal service for hosting repositories and managing version control as described in the scenario.

A. AWS CodeStar is a unified user interface for managing the entire software development lifecycle, not a source control service itself.
B. Amazon CodeGuru is a machine learning-powered service that provides intelligent recommendations to improve code quality and identify an application’s most expensive lines of code.
D. AWS CodePipeline is a continuous delivery service that automates the build, test, and deploy phases of your release process. It uses a source like CodeCommit but does not host the code.
