Question

Difficulty: MediumAWS Compute Services

A retail company is planning to deploy two new workloads on AWS:

1. A simple promotional blog that requires a pre-configured software stack, easy setup, and a predictable monthly price.
2. A containerized backend application packaged in Docker containers that must scale dynamically with traffic, while avoiding the operational overhead of provisioning, patching, or scaling virtual machine instances.

Which of the following compute services should the company select to host these workloads? (Select TWO.)

  1. Amazon LightsailAnswer
  2. AWS FargateAnswer
  3. C
    Amazon EC2
  4. D
    AWS Lambda

Answer

Amazon Lightsail and AWS Fargate
Amazon Lightsail is the correct choice for the simple blog because it provides a packaged virtual private server with a pre-configured software stack (like WordPress) and a predictable monthly pricing bundle. AWS Fargate is the correct choice for the containerized application because it provides a serverless execution environment for Docker containers, scaling dynamically without requiring the customer to patch or manage any underlying virtual servers.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the first requirement for hosting a simple blog with a pre-configured stack and predictable pricing.
Amazon Lightsail is selected because it is designed for simple, predictable VPS deployments.
It simplifies setup for blogs (like WordPress) and packages resources into a single predictable monthly fee.
2
Analyze the second requirement for a containerized application that scales without managing virtual servers.
AWS Fargate is selected as the serverless container runtime environment.
Fargate allows running Docker containers dynamically under Amazon ECS without managing EC2 instances or operating systems.

Key Concept

Evaluating AWS compute services based on deployment simplicity, billing predictability, and the division of operational management responsibilities.
