Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 topic 1 question 263 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03
Question #: 263
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 Questions]

A company is building an application that consists of several microservices. The company has decided to use container technologies to deploy its software on AWS. The company needs a solution that minimizes the amount of ongoing effort for maintenance and scaling. The company cannot manage additional infrastructure.

Which combination of actions should a solutions architect take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

  • A. Deploy an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) cluster.
  • B. Deploy the Kubernetes control plane on Amazon EC2 instances that span multiple Availability Zones.
  • C. Deploy an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) service with an Amazon EC2 launch type. Specify a desired task number level of greater than or equal to 2.
  • D. Deploy an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) service with a Fargate launch type. Specify a desired task number level of greater than or equal to 2.
  • E. Deploy Kubernetes worker nodes on Amazon EC2 instances that span multiple Availability Zones. Create a deployment that specifies two or more replicas for each microservice.

Selected Answer: AD
Options B and E suggest deploying the Kubernetes control plane and worker nodes on EC2 instances, which would require managing the infrastructure and add ongoing maintenance overhead, contrary to the requirement of minimizing effort. Option C suggests using the Amazon EC2 launch type for ECS, which still requires managing EC2 instances and is not as cost-effective and scalable as using Fargate. Therefore, the combination of deploying an Amazon ECS cluster and an ECS service with a Fargate launch type (options A and D) is the most suitable for minimizing maintenance and scaling effort without managing additional infrastructure.

ECS has 2 launch type, EC2 (you maintain the infra) and Fargate (serverless). Since the question ask for no additional infra to manage it should be Fargate.

ECS allows deploying and managing containers without having to provision the underlying infrastructure. This minimizes maintenance effort. Using Fargate launch type means ECS will handle provisioning and scaling the infrastructure automatically. This removes the management overhead for the company. Running multiple tasks and specifying desired count ≥ 2 will provide high availability across Availability Zones. Together, ECS plus Fargate provide a fully managed container platform. The company doesn't need to provision or manage servers.

Because in the question says, "minimizes the amount of ongoing effort for maintenance and scaling", and EC2 instances you need effort to maintain the infrastructure unlike fargate that is serverless.

Amazon Fargate is a service that is fully manageable by Amazon; it offers provisioning, configuration and scaling feature. It is "serverless"..

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. With Fargate, you no longer have to provision, configure, or scale clusters of virtual machines to run containers. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/userguide/what-is-fargate.html
