AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 554

Which AWS service provides serverless compute for use with containers?

Answer options

• A. Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS)
• B. AWS Fargate
• C. AWS Elastic Beanstalk
• D. Amazon SageMaker

Correct answer: B

Explanation

AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that works with both Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS, eliminating the need to provision and manage servers. Amazon SQS is a message queuing service, AWS Elastic Beanstalk is an orchestration service for deploying web applications, and Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed service for machine learning. Thus, AWS Fargate is the correct choice for serverless container compute.
