AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 — Topic 1 Question 134

Question

A company runs a proprietary stateless ETL application on an Amazon EC2 Linux instances. The application is a Linux binary, and the source code cannot be modified. The application is single-threaded, uses 2 GB of RAM, and is highly CPU intensive. The application is scheduled to run every 4 hours and runs for up to 20 minutes. A solutions architect wants to revise the architecture for the solution. Which strategy should the solutions architect use?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: Use AWS Fargate to run the application. Use Amazon EventBridge (Amazon CloudWatch Events) to invoke the Fargate task every 4 hours. AWS Fargate runs containers serverlessly so there are no EC2 hosts to manage or patch. Amazon EventBridge routes events between services with rules, enabling event-driven, decoupled architectures. Amazon CloudWatch collects metrics, logs and alarms to monitor and react to operational health.
