Which AWS service is used for creating and managing containers without the need to manage the underlying infrastructure?

  1. AWS Fargate

  2. Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS)

  3. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)

  4. Amazon EC2

The correct answer is: AWS Fargate

AWS Fargate is the best answer because it is a fully-managed service for containers that allows you to run containers without having to manage the underlying infrastructure. Amazon EC2 (D) is a virtual server service that requires you to manage the underlying infrastructure. Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) (B) is a container orchestration service, but still requires you to manage the infrastructure. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) (C) is a managed Kubernetes service that also requires you to manage the infrastructure, but does offer some level of automation. However, none of these options provide the same level of ease and automation as AWS Fargate when it comes to creating and managing containers.
