AWS Certified DevOps Engineer - Professional DOP-C02 — Topic 1 Question 335

Question

A company runs an application in an Auto Scaling group of Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The EC2 instances run Docker containers that make requests to a MySQL database that runs on separate EC2 instances. A DevOps engineer needs to update the application to use a serverless architecture. Which solution will meet this requirement with the FEWEST changes?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. The correct answer is B. Option B: Replace the containers that run on EC2 instances with AWS Fargate. Replace the MySQL database with an Amazon Aurora Serverless v2 database that is compatible with MySQL. AWS Fargate runs containers serverlessly so there are no EC2 hosts to manage or patch. Amazon EC2 provides resizable virtual servers when you need full control of the operating system. Aurora Serverless auto-scales database capacity and is cost-effective for variable workloads.
