AWS Elastic Beanstalk
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
Amazon WorkSpaces and Amazon AppStream 2.0 are designed to present the output of virtual machines or virtualized applications directly to end-user devices. WorkSpaces provides virtual desktops, while AppStream 2.0 streams applications from virtual environments. Other services like EC2, Lambda, and Elastic Beanstalk do not natively support this functionality without additional integration or tooling.
- A. Correct.
Amazon WorkSpaces is a fully managed virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) service that allows users to access Windows or Linux desktops remotely, making it suitable for presenting VM outputs to end-user machines.
- B. Correct.
Amazon AppStream 2.0 is a fully managed application streaming service that allows end-users to access virtualized applications and desktops directly from their web browsers, making it ideal for presenting VM outputs.
- C. Incorrect.
Amazon EC2 provides virtual servers (instances) but does not include features for directly presenting their output to end-user machines without additional setup or services.
- D. Incorrect.
AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that runs code in response to events and does not involve virtual machines or their direct output presentation to end-user machines.
- E. Incorrect.
AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution for deploying and managing applications, but it does not provide functionality for presenting VM outputs to end-user machines.
