AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 — Topic 1 Question 820

Question

A company is migrating a legacy application from an on-premises data center to AWS. The application relies on hundreds of cron jobs that run between 1 and 20 minutes on different recurring schedules throughout the day. The company wants a solution to schedule and run the cron jobs on AWS with minimal refactoring. The solution must support running the cron jobs in response to an event in the future. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Create a container image for the cron jobs. Use Amazon EventBridge Scheduler to create a recurring schedule. Run the cron job tasks on AWS Fargate. AWS Fargate runs containers serverlessly so there are no EC2 hosts to manage or patch. Amazon EventBridge routes events between services with rules, enabling event-driven, decoupled architectures.
