AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 84

A company needs to install an application in a Docker container.
Which AWS service eliminates the need to provision and manage the container hosts?

Answer options

• A. AWS Fargate
• B. Amazon FSx for Windows File Server
• C. Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)
• D. Amazon EC2

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Fargate is the correct choice because it provides a serverless compute engine for containers, allowing users to run containers without managing the servers. In contrast, Amazon EC2 requires users to provision and manage the underlying instances, while Amazon ECS can operate with or without EC2 but doesn't inherently eliminate the need for managing hosts. Amazon FSx for Windows File Server is unrelated to container management.
