AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 419

A company plans to migrate its custom marketing application and order-processing application to AWS. The company needs to deploy the applications on different types of instances with various configurations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity.

Which AWS service should the company use to meet these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Amazon EC2 provides virtual servers, known as instances, which offer a wide variety of customizable configurations for CPU, memory, storage, and network capacity to suit different application needs. In contrast, AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that does not expose underlying instance configurations, while Amazon Cognito is used for identity management and Amazon Athena is a serverless query service. Thus, Amazon EC2 is the ideal choice for migrating applications that require specific virtual machine configurations.
