AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 665
A company wants to deploy a web application as a containerized application. The company wants to use a managed service that can automatically create container images from source code and deploy the containerized application.
Which AWS service will meet these requirements?
Answer options
- A. AWS Elastic Beanstalk
- B. Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)
- C. AWS App Runner
- D. Amazon EC2
Correct answer: C
Explanation
AWS App Runner is a fully managed service that can automatically build a container image directly from source code and deploy the containerized application. While Amazon ECS runs containerized applications, it requires additional services like AWS CodeBuild to build images from source. AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Amazon EC2 do not offer this native, automated source-to-container deployment workflow out of the box.
