Amazon SAP-C02 Exam - Topic 1 Question 58 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's SAP-C02 exam

Question #: 58
Topic #: 1

A company is planning to migrate an application to AWS. The application runs as a Docker container and uses an NFS version 4 file share.

A solutions architect must design a secure and scalable containerized solution that does not require provisioning or management of the underlying infrastructure.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

ADeploy the application containers by using Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) with the Fargate launch type. Use Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) for shared storage. Reference the EFS file system ID, container mount point, and EFS authorization IAM role in the ECS task definition.

BDeploy the application containers by using Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) with the Fargate launch type. Use Amazon FSx for Lustre for shared storage. Reference the FSx for Lustre file system ID, container mount point, and FSx for Lustre authorization IAM role in the ECS task definition.

CDeploy the application containers by using Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) with the Amazon EC2 launch type and auto scaling turned on. Use Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) for shared storage. Mount the EFS file system on the ECS container instances. Add the EFS authorization IAM role to the EC2 instance profile.

DDeploy the application containers by using Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) with the Amazon EC2 launch type and auto scaling turned on. Use Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes with Multi-Attach enabled for shared storage. Attach the EBS volumes to ECS container instances. Add the EBS authorization IAM role to an EC2 instance profile.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

This option uses Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) with the Fargate launch type to deploy the application containers. Amazon ECS is a fully managed container orchestration service that allows running Docker containers on AWS at scale. Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that eliminates the need to provision or manage servers or clusters. With Fargate, the company only pays for the resources required to run its containers, which reduces costs and operational overhead. This option also uses Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) for shared storage. Amazon EFS is a fully managed file system that provides scalable, elastic, concurrent, and secure file storage for use with AWS cloud services. Amazon EFS supports NFS version 4 protocol, which is compatible with the application's requirements. To use Amazon EFS with Fargate containers, the company needs to reference the EFS file system ID, container mount point, and EFS authorization IAM role in the ECS task definition.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure the answer is A. Fargate is the way to go for this use case, and EFS seems like the obvious choice for shared storage.

Referencing the EFS file system ID, container mount point, and EFS authorization IAM role in the ECS task definition will ensure everything is set up correctly.

Using EFS for shared storage makes sense in this scenario, it provides scalable and secure file storage for the containers.

I agree, Fargate is a great choice for managing containers without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.
