Single answerA company wants to deploy and operate a web application on AWS with minimal management of the underlying infrastructure. Which AWS service is the most suitable for this scenario?
- A
Amazon EC2
- B
AWS Elastic Beanstalk
- C
Amazon S3
- D
AWS Lambda
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
AWS Elastic Beanstalk is the best choice for deploying and operating a web application with minimal infrastructure management. It abstracts much of the complexity involved in managing infrastructure by automatically provisioning resources, scaling, and handling application health monitoring, making it ideal for this scenario.
- A. Incorrect.
Amazon EC2 provides virtual servers for complete control over the operating system and software, but it requires the company to manage the underlying infrastructure, including scaling, patching, and maintenance.
- B. Correct.
AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that allows developers to deploy and manage applications without managing the underlying infrastructure. It automatically handles deployment, capacity provisioning, load balancing, and scaling.
- C. Incorrect.
Amazon S3 is an object storage service, not an appropriate choice for deploying or operating a web application.
- D. Incorrect.
AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service for running code in response to events. While it eliminates infrastructure management, it is better suited for event-driven applications rather than deploying a complete web application.
