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
✓
Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS)
Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS both provide container orchestration, automatic scaling, and service discovery. ECS is a fully managed container orchestration service tightly integrated with AWS, while EKS offers Kubernetes-based orchestration. Both meet the requirements, so options B and C are correct. Lightsail is for simple VMs or containers, not full orchestration. Elastic Beanstalk is a PaaS service that can deploy containers but lacks native container orchestration features.
