Your team has currently developed an application using Docker containers.
As the development lead, you now need to host this application in AWS.
You also need to ensure that the AWS service has orchestration services built-in.
Which of the following can be used for this purpose?

A. B. C. D.Answer - C.
The AWS Documentation also mentions the following.
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a highly scalable, fast, container management service that makes it easy to run, stop, and manage Docker containers on a cluster.
You can host your cluster on a serverless infrastructure that Amazon ECS manages by launching your services or tasks using the Fargate launch type.
You can host your tasks on a cluster of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances that you manage by using the EC2 launch type for more control.
Options A and B are invalid since these would involve additional maintenance activities.
Option D is incorrect since this is Object-based storage.
For more information on the Elastic Container service, please refer to the below URL-
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/Welcome.htmlTo host the application using Docker containers in AWS, you can consider using Elastic Container Service (ECS). ECS is a fully managed container orchestration service provided by AWS that supports Docker containers. It allows you to easily run and scale Docker containers on AWS infrastructure.
Option A suggests building a Kubernetes cluster on EC2 instances. While it is possible to run Kubernetes on EC2 instances, it requires additional effort and maintenance from the development team to manage the infrastructure. ECS, on the other hand, is a fully managed service that abstracts away the underlying infrastructure and provides automatic scaling, load balancing, and monitoring.
Option B suggests building a Kubernetes cluster on your on-premise infrastructure. This option requires additional hardware and maintenance, which can be expensive and time-consuming. Moreover, hosting the application on-premise can result in latency and network issues, making it less reliable.
Option D suggests using Simple Storage Service (S3) to store Docker containers. However, S3 is a file storage service and is not designed to host and run Docker containers. Instead, ECS provides a dedicated container registry that allows you to store and manage Docker images.
In summary, to host the application using Docker containers in AWS with orchestration services built-in, you should consider using Elastic Container Service (ECS).
