Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
AWS Step Functions
AWS Batch is a purpose-built service for batch computing, handling job scheduling, scaling, and execution. AWS Step Functions orchestrates the workflow, managing dependencies, retries, and parallelism. The other options are less suitable: Amazon ECS is for container orchestration, not specifically batch; Amazon SQS is a message queue; AWS Lambda has execution time and memory limits that make it unsuitable for processing large files daily. Therefore, the two correct choices are AWS Batch and AWS Step Functions.
