AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question

Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that enables developers to run containers without the need to manage virtual machines or clusters. It offloads the responsibility of provisioning, configuring, and scaling the underlying infrastructure, which aligns with the company's goal of avoiding server and cluster management. Using Elastic Container Service (ECS) with the EC2 launch type would require them to manage the EC2 instances and handle cluster scaling. EC2 Auto Scaling involves managing virtual machine instances and scaling them manually or based on policies, adding infrastructure management overhead. Lambda is designed for running short-lived, event-driven functions and is not ideal for deploying persistent containerized microservices applications.
