AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 185

A company needs to plan, schedule, and run hundreds of thousands of computing jobs on AWS.

Which AWS service can the company use to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. AWS Step Functions
• B. AWS Service Catalog
• C. Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS)
• D. AWS Batch

Correct answer: D

Explanation

AWS Batch is designed specifically for running large-scale batch computing jobs efficiently, making it the ideal choice for this scenario. AWS Step Functions is used for coordinating microservices, AWS Service Catalog helps manage AWS resources, and Amazon SQS is a message queuing service, which does not directly handle job scheduling or execution.
