AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 509

A company needs to use AWS technology to deploy a static website.

Which solution meets this requirement with the LEAST amount of operational overhead?

Answer options

• A. Deploy the website on Amazon EC2.
• B. Host the website on AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
• C. Deploy the website with Amazon Lightsail.
• D. Host the website on Amazon S3.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Amazon S3 features a native static website hosting capability that requires no server administration, patching, or manual scaling, resulting in the lowest operational overhead. In contrast, solutions using Amazon EC2, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, or Amazon Lightsail involve managing underlying virtual servers or application environments. Consequently, Amazon S3 is the most efficient and low-maintenance choice for static web content.
