Content Domain 4: Billing, Pricing, and Support

A company has an on-premises application. The application has processing times of less than 5 minutes and is invoked only a few times each day. The company wants to move the application to the AWS Cloud.

Which AWS service will support this application MOST cost-effectively?

  • A Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)
  • B AWS Lambda
  • C Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)
  • D Amazon EC2
Explanation

AWS Lambda is the most cost-effective option for short-duration, infrequently invoked workloads. Lambda's serverless pricing model charges only for actual execution time and number of invocations. ECS, EKS, and EC2 require maintaining running infrastructure regardless of actual usage, making them less economical for this use case.
