AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 29

A company is running and managing its own Docker environment on Amazon EC2 instances. The company wants an alternative to help manage cluster size, scheduling, and environment maintenance.
Which AWS service meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS Lambda
• B. Amazon RDS
• C. AWS Fargate
• D. Amazon Athena

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS Fargate is designed to manage containerized applications without the need to manage the underlying infrastructure, making it ideal for cluster size management and scheduling. In contrast, AWS Lambda is for serverless computing, Amazon RDS is a database service, and Amazon Athena is used for querying data in S3, none of which directly address the Docker management needs.
