A startup is deploying a containerized application using Amazon ECS. The application experiences unpredictable traffic spikes. The team is small and wants to minimize the operational overhead of managing underlying EC2 instances, while only paying for the exact compute resources the containers use.<br/><br/>Which ECS launch type should they use?

Answer options:

EC2 Launch Type

AWS Fargate

Amazon EKS

AWS Elastic Beanstalk

How to approach this question

Look for 'minimize operational overhead' and 'containers'.

Full Answer

B.AWS Fargate✓ Correct

AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that works with both Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS. Fargate removes the need to provision and manage servers, lets you specify and pay for resources per application, and improves security through application isolation by design.

Common mistakes

Choosing EC2 Launch Type, which requires managing the underlying infrastructure.
