Question #: 772
Topic #: 1

[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 Questions]

A company built an application with Docker containers and needs to run the application in the AWS Cloud. The company wants to use a managed service to host the application.

The solution must scale in and out appropriately according to demand on the individual container services. The solution also must not result in additional operational overhead or infrastructure to manage.

Which solutions will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

A. Use Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) with AWS Fargate.
B. Use Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) with AWS Fargate.
C. Provision an Amazon API Gateway API. Connect the API to AWS Lambda to run the containers.
D. Use Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) with Amazon EC2 worker nodes.
E. Use Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) with Amazon EC2 worker nodes.

AWS Lambda can run Docker containers, but it is more suited for short-duration, event-driven functions rather than long-running services. While you can use Lambda to run container images, it is typically used for microservices or functions rather than managing scalable containerized applications in the same way that ECS or EKS does.

A or B is okay, why not C? While AWS Lambda now supports running Linux-based container images, it is primarily designed for microservices or event-driven functions rather than managing scalable containerized applications like Amazon ECS or Amazon EKS

A or B is OK. About C: Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda are not typically used for running Docker containers. Lambda is designed for serverless functions, and while you can use Lambda to invoke containerized tasks, it does not run containers directly.

AWS Fargate: Both ECS and EKS with Fargate provide a fully managed container orchestration service where you don't need to manage underlying infrastructure like EC2 instances, making it ideal for scaling and reducing operational overhead. Scaling capabilities: Both options allow for automatic scaling based on demand, meaning the container instances will automatically scale up or down based on application requirements.

- Container = ECS or EKS - "managed service to host the application" = Fargate - "not result in additional operational overhead or infrastructure to manage" = ECS for the win. The main difference between ECS and EKS = simplicity vs flexibility. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/amazon-ecs-vs-amazon-eks-making-sense-of-aws-container-services/

now, if instead of asking the "best" (combination) solution you want TWO SOLUTIONS, then I see value in A-B.

Dear MatAlves before you describe my answer as trolls try to study and focus I will explain to you that C is not correct Lambda is for running code in response to events and does not natively support running Docker containers in the traditional sense of a containerized application. Lambda can use container image as deployment packages but this setup isn't ideal for managing and calling complex containerized applications So it's A + B

Selected Answer: AB

The question is asking for two alternatives to run Docker containers in a serverless service with minimal effort. Option C will require a lot of effort to configure the Lambda and the API Gateway to run the Container correctly. Instead, just use EKS o ECS with Fargate to execute the container image

No, I decided to change my option since this question is asking "Docker"&"AWS" it is not asking local Kubernet, so AC should be the right answer.

AB are using AWS Fargate which IS considered a managed service, option C does not run containers, , DE you have to manage your own EC2 instances thus not consider managed
