Question : You are working with an equity brokerage firm who provides the terminal for equity trading, now at the end of day when market closes your analytics team want to do some analytics. Entire data is stored in
AWS S3 in file format, so no direct database needs to be accessed. You want to use last 5 days data to do analytics and volume is quite high which of the following service you will be using for this?
A. Launch EC2 Spot instances fleet and run your own analytics code with the data stored in S3
B. You will be using EMR service
C. You will be using AWS Batch
D. You will be using AWS Lambda
1. A,B
2. B,C
3. C,D
4. A,D
5. B,D
Correct Answer : 2
Explanation: In the given question you wanted to run analytics on big volume of data. Hence, this is a Big Data problem and Lambda function will not be helpful because they have timeout limit 300 seconds
as well as 500MB storage is available. Hence, eliminate option 4.
You can certainly use option 1, but this is not an optimal solution for given requirement.
For BigData problems you will be using BigData tool like EMR service. Hence option 2 is perfect fit. Other than that you can also use AWS Batch, if you want to run any batch processing than you should use AWS batch.
AWS batch provisions the optimal quantity and type of compute resources e.g. CPU or memory optimized instances based on need. If you are using AWS batch than you don't have to install and manage batch computing
software , servers , clusters etc. You just focus on solving your own problem.
However, underline AWS Batch use the EC2 instance and Spot instances.
Question : You have developed a web application and a Docker image has been created using that. You want to deploy scalable web application using this Docker container. And don't want to take the pain of managing
clusters like which server types to be chosen, when your cluster should be scaled etc. which of the following service you will be using from AWS?
1. AWS Elastic Container Service
2. Amazon Elastic Container Service for Docker
3. AWS Fargate
4. AWS Batch
5. AWS LightSail
Correct Answer : 3
Explanation: AWS Fargate is a service for ECS (Elastic Container Service) or EKS (Elastic container service for Kubernetes), if you use AWS Fargate service than you don't have to take pain for
provisioning, configuring, and scaling of virtual servers to run your containers. Even you don't have to select the type of EC2 servers, what should be the scaling requirement etc. Hence, you can focus on designing
and building your applications rather than managing the infrastructure to runs them.
