Application code
- B
Data
- C

True or false: AWS Fargate is a container orchestrator that can manage containers without ECS or EKS.
- A
True
- B
False
A team has a long-running application packaged as a container. It wants AWS-native orchestration and does not want to manage container hosts. Which setup best fits?
- A
Amazon EKS on EC2
- B
Amazon ECS on EC2
- C
Amazon ECS on Fargate
- D
AWS Lambda
A research team needs to schedule a large collection of queued jobs across AWS compute options. Which AWS service should it consider?
Which statements correctly describe the roles of AWS container services and compute options? Select all correct answers.
- A
Amazon ECR stores container images.
- B
Amazon ECS orchestrates containers.
- C
AWS Fargate is a container orchestrator by itself.
- D
Amazon EKS orchestrates containers using Kubernetes.
- E
Amazon EC2 can provide capacity for containers.
A company must use Kubernetes APIs and tools for a containerized workload. Explain which AWS orchestration service fits, what compute-capacity decision remains, and how choosing Fargate versus EC2 changes host management.
A containerized workload requires Kubernetes APIs and tools. Which AWS service should the team choose for orchestration?
- A
Amazon ECS
- B
Amazon EKS
- C
AWS Fargate
- D
Amazon ECR
A developer is checking whether a standard AWS Lambda invocation can finish within the service's maximum execution duration. What is that maximum duration in minutes?
A service must remain available if one Availability Zone fails. Which design best supports that goal within a Region?
- A
Keep all capacity in one Availability Zone and rely on automatic replication to other Regions.
- B
Use a single EC2 instance and assume that Auto Scaling will make the application tolerate AZ failure without further design.
- C
Run service capacity in more than one Availability Zone and design the application to tolerate failures.
- D
Use a container image stored in ECR as a substitute for deploying capacity across Availability Zones.
A team needs to process occasional queue messages with short-lived, stateless code and does not want to manage servers. Which compute service is the best fit?
- A
Amazon EC2
- B
AWS Lambda
- C
Amazon EKS
- D
AWS Batch
True or false: AWS Fargate is a container orchestrator that can manage container lifecycles without ECS or EKS.
- A
True
- B
False
A legacy application requires a custom operating-system package and the team wants control over the guest operating system. Which compute option is the best starting point?
- A
Amazon EC2
- B
AWS Lambda
- C
AWS Fargate
- D
AWS App Runner
A team deploys a long-running containerized service using ECS and wants AWS to manage the underlying server capacity. Which compute option should it choose?
A containerized application must use Kubernetes APIs and tools. Which service should the team select for container orchestration?
- A
Amazon ECS, because it provides AWS-native container orchestration
- B
AWS Fargate, because it supplies container compute capacity
- C
Amazon EKS, because the workload requires Kubernetes
- D
Amazon ECR, because it stores container images
A team wants to store a container image, deploy it as an AWS-native container service, and avoid managing container hosts. Which arrangement assigns those roles correctly?
- A
Store the image in ECS, manage its lifecycle with Fargate, and supply capacity with ECR
- B
Store the image in ECR, deploy it with ECS, and run tasks on Fargate
- C
Store the image in Fargate, deploy it with ECR, and run tasks on ECS
- D
Store the image in EKS, deploy it with EC2, and use ECS for image storage
An EC2 Auto Scaling group responds to rising demand by adding instances rather than increasing the resources of each instance. This approach is .
A team estimates the cost of a standard Lambda function that runs many times for varying durations. The two primary pricing dimensions it should estimate are .
