An application team stores a read-only packaged template in a registry, then starts a running instance of it. The stored template is a container image, and the running instance is a container. True or false?
4 Containers on AWS: ECS, Fargate, and EKS Online Quiz Questions
Use this free practice quiz with 20 questions to review 4 Containers on AWS: ECS, Fargate, and EKS, test your knowledge, and prepare for your next test or exam.
A team needs an AWS registry to store and distribute its container images. What is the full name of the AWS service it can use?
An ECS team needs a blueprint that specifies which container images to run and settings such as CPU, memory, and logging. The team should create a .
A batch job should run to completion and does not need a service to maintain a continuously running desired count. Which ECS approach fits this requirement?
- A
Create an ECS service that keeps a desired number of tasks running.
- B
Run an ECS task by itself.
- C
Create an EKS Deployment.
- D
Use a Kubernetes Service to expose pods.
An ECS cluster can organize workloads and capacity supplied by EC2 instances or Fargate, rather than being limited to one of those compute options. True or false?
- A
True
- B
False
An ECS service is configured to keep three tasks running. One task stops unexpectedly. What should the service attempt to do?
- A
ECS attempts to start a replacement task to restore the desired count.
- B
ECS permanently reduces the desired count by one.
- C
The stopped task is automatically converted into a batch job.
- D
The service changes the task definition to use a different image.
A team wants to run ECS containers without provisioning or maintaining container host instances. Which compute option best fits this requirement?
- A
ECS on EC2, because it removes the need to manage host instances.
- B
Fargate, because AWS manages the underlying server infrastructure.
- C
ECS on EC2, because AWS selects and maintains all instance types.
- D
Fargate, because it automatically manages every application-level concern.
A team runs containers on Fargate. Which statements accurately describe the division of responsibility? Select all that apply.
- A
AWS manages the underlying server infrastructure.
- B
AWS chooses the application image and its required permissions for the team.
- C
The team still configures application networking.
- D
The team still operates application-level concerns such as permissions and scaling.
In Kubernetes, the deployable unit that contains one or more closely related containers is a .
With Amazon EKS, AWS manages the Kubernetes control plane, but workloads still run on compute capacity such as nodes or Fargate where supported. True or false?
- A
True
- B
False
In Kubernetes, what resource provides a stable way to reach a set of pods over the network?
A Kubernetes team needs to declare the desired number and version of application pods and manage their rollout and replacement. Which resource should it use?
- A
A Kubernetes Service, which maintains a desired number and version of pods.
- B
An ECS task definition, which manages Kubernetes pod rollouts.
- C
A Kubernetes Deployment, which declares the desired number and version of application pods.
- D
An ECS cluster, which replaces Kubernetes pods.
Which steps are part of the broadly similar container workflow in both ECS and EKS? Select all that apply.
- A
Build a container image.
- B
Put the image in a registry such as ECR.
- C
Use an ECS task definition as the workload resource in both platforms.
- D
Use a Kubernetes Deployment as the workload resource in both platforms.
A team requires Kubernetes compatibility and wants to avoid managing EC2 container host instances. Recommend an AWS orchestration platform and compute option, then state one infrastructure responsibility AWS takes on and one application-level responsibility the team still has.
A team wants AWS-native container orchestration and does not want to adopt Kubernetes. Which orchestration service best fits its requirement?
- A
ECS, because it provides AWS-native container orchestration without requiring Kubernetes.
- B
EKS, because it is the option that avoids using Kubernetes.
- C
A Kubernetes Service, because it replaces the orchestration platform.
- D
Amazon ECR, because a registry schedules and maintains tasks.
A team wants AWS-native container orchestration and does not need Kubernetes compatibility. Which orchestration service best fits this requirement?
- A
Amazon EKS
- B
Amazon ECS
- C
AWS Fargate
- D
Amazon ECR
A team needs to specify which container image to run and configure its CPU, memory, ports, and logging before launching it in ECS. Which ECS component should they define?
- A
An ECS service
- B
An ECS cluster
- C
An ECS task definition
- D
An ECS task
An ECS application should keep three tasks running. If one task stops unexpectedly, which component is responsible for attempting to start a replacement?
- A
An ECS service
- B
An ECS task definition
- C
An ECS cluster
- D
An ECS container image
In Kubernetes, what is the deployable unit that contains one or more closely related containers?
Which AWS container compute engine can work with either ECS or EKS and manages the underlying server infrastructure for you?
