AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 351

A company wants to use application stacks to run a workload in the AWS Cloud. The company wants to use pre-configured instances.

Which AWS service will meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Amazon Lightsail
• B. Amazon Athena
• C. AWS Outposts
• D. Amazon EC2

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Amazon Lightsail is designed to quickly launch virtual private servers bundled with pre-configured application stacks like WordPress, Magento, or LAMP. While Amazon EC2 provides resizable compute capacity, it requires manual configuration of application stacks compared to Lightsail's click-and-start blueprints. Amazon Athena is a serverless query service, and AWS Outposts is for on-premises hybrid deployments, making them incorrect.
