A company is planning to deploy a new web application on AWS. The development team wants to write templates to define and provision the required infrastructure as code. At the same time, they want a platform-as-a-service solution to deploy the application code without manually managing the underlying EC2 instances, load balancers, or scaling policies. Which of the following AWS services should the company use to meet these requirements? (Select TWO.)
