CLF-C02 Question 171
Single answerA startup company is developing a web application and wants to deploy it using containers. The team requires a managed service to manage the orchestration of containerized applications, automate scaling, and ensure high availability. They have limited Kubernetes expertise and want a solution that minimizes operational overhead. Which AWS container service should they choose?
- A
Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service)
- B
Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service)
- C
AWS Fargate
- D
Amazon EC2
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Amazon ECS is the best choice for the startup because it is a fully managed container orchestration service that abstracts the complexities of Kubernetes. It allows the team to deploy and manage containers with minimal operational overhead, making it the most appropriate option for a team with limited Kubernetes expertise.
- A. Correct.
Amazon ECS is a fully managed container orchestration service that supports Docker containers. It is well-suited for teams with limited Kubernetes expertise because it abstracts the complexity of managing clusters and provides a simple solution for deploying and managing containers.
- B. Incorrect.
Amazon EKS is a managed Kubernetes service, but it is designed for users who want to use Kubernetes and have the necessary expertise to manage Kubernetes configurations. It may not be ideal for teams with limited Kubernetes experience.
- C. Incorrect.
AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers, but it is not a container orchestration service. Fargate can work with ECS or EKS but is not a standalone orchestration solution.
- D. Incorrect.
Amazon EC2 is an infrastructure-level service for running virtual machines. It does not provide container orchestration capabilities and requires more overhead for managing containers directly.
