AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
A company is planning to deploy a microservices-based application on AWS. The application consists of a set of stateless containerized services that require dynamic scaling and management. Which service should be used to orchestrate the containers to ensure scalable and resilient behavior?
Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) with Auto Scaling Groups
Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service) is the best choice for orchestrating containers as it allows you to easily run, stop, and manage containers on a cluster. It's well-integrated with AWS services, providing features such as elastic load balancing and auto-scaling that are essential for managing dynamic, microservice-based architectures. Amazon EC2 on its own does not provide orchestration features and would require additional management. Amazon EBS is a block storage service and is not used for container orchestration. Amazon RDS is a managed relational database service, and does not handle container orchestration.
