Question

A company runs its customer-facing web application on containers. The workload uses Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) on AWS Fargate. The web application is resource intensive. The web application needs to be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for customers. The company expects the application to experience short bursts of high traffic. The workload must be highly available. Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. The correct answer is D. Option D: Configure an ECS capacity provider with Fargate. Use AWS Compute Optimizer to rightsize the Fargate task. AWS Fargate runs containers serverlessly so there are no EC2 hosts to manage or patch. Amazon ECS orchestrates containers and integrates natively with AWS networking and IAM. AWS Config tracks resource configuration changes and evaluates compliance. This option delivers the requirement at the lowest cost.
