Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 58 discussion

Good answer is C: AWS Fargate is a serverless, pay-as-you-go compute engine that lets you focus on building applications without having to manage servers. AWS Fargate is compatible with Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). https://aws.amazon.com/fr/fargate/

Using ECS on Fargate allows you to run containers without the need to manage the underlying infrastructure. Fargate abstracts away the underlying EC2 and provides serverless compute for containers. A. This option would require manual provisioning and management of EC2, as well as installing and configuring Docker on those instances. It would introduce additional overhead and responsibilities for maintaining the underlying infrastructure. B. While this option leverages ECS to manage containers, it still requires provisioning and managing EC2 to serve as worker nodes. It adds complexity and maintenance overhead compared to the serverless nature of Fargate. D. This option still involves managing and provisioning EC2, even though an ECS-optimized AMI simplifies the process of setting up EC2 for running ECS. It does not provide the level of serverless abstraction and ease of management offered by Fargate.

Ans C - use Fargate to do all the management / deployment (which the company doesn't want to do)

ECS FARGATE

Managed containers = Fargate

AWS Fargate is a serverless, pay-as-you-go compute engine that lets you focus on building applications without having to manage servers. AWS Fargate is compatible with Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).

In order to execute containerized apps without having to manage servers, AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for Amazon ECS. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance clusters no longer require provisioning, configuring, or scaling thanks to AWS Fargate. So that you can concentrate on developing and maintaining your applications, AWS Fargate handles the monotonous, repetitive labor of managing servers.

Option C is the correct answer.

C for Fargate

The company does not want to be responsible for provisioning and managing the underlying infrastructure that runs the containerized workload = Serverless compute for containers = AWS Fargate

Option C is the correct answer

AWS Fargate is a technology that you can use with Amazon ECS to run containers without having to manage servers or clusters of Amazon EC2 instances. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/userguide/what-is-fargate.html

ECS + Fargate

AWS Fargate will hide all the complexity for you

C. Use Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) on AWS Fargate. AWS Fargate is a fully managed container execution environment that runs containers without the need to provision and manage underlying infrastructure. This makes it a good choice for companies that want to focus on maintaining their critical applications and do not want to be responsible for provisioning and managing the underlying infrastructure. Option A involves installing Docker on Amazon EC2 instances, which would still require the company to manage the underlying infrastructure. Option B involves using Amazon ECS on Amazon EC2 worker nodes, which would also require the company to manage the underlying infrastructure. Option D involves using Amazon EC2 instances from an Amazon ECS-optimized Amazon Machine Image (AMI), which would also require the company to manage the underlying infrastructure.

Option C

Obviously anything with EC2 in the answer is wrong...
