AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 84

A company needs to perform data processing once a week that typically takes about 5 hours to complete.
Which AWS service should the company use for this workload?

Answer options

• A. AWS Lambda
• B. Amazon EC2
• C. AWS CodeDeploy
• D. AWS Wavelength

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Amazon EC2 is ideal for workloads that require longer processing times, such as the 5-hour data processing task described. AWS Lambda is designed for short-lived, event-driven tasks and would not be suitable for this duration. AWS CodeDeploy is primarily for application deployment, and AWS Wavelength is focused on low-latency applications at the edge, making them inappropriate options for this scenario.
