Question #: 452
Topic #: 1

[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C03 Questions]

A company runs a Java-based job on an Amazon EC2 instance. The job runs every hour and takes 10 seconds to run. The job runs on a scheduled interval and consumes 1 GB of memory. The CPU utilization of the instance is low except for short surges during which the job uses the maximum CPU available. The company wants to optimize the costs to run the job.

Which solution will meet these requirements?

A. Use AWS App2Container (A2C) to containerize the job. Run the job as an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) task on AWS Fargate with 0.5 virtual CPU (vCPU) and 1 GB of memory.
B. Copy the code into an AWS Lambda function that has 1 GB of memory. Create an Amazon EventBridge scheduled rule to run the code each hour.
C. Use AWS App2Container (A2C) to containerize the job. Install the container in the existing Amazon Machine Image (AMI). Ensure that the schedule stops the container when the task finishes.
D. Configure the existing schedule to stop the EC2 instance at the completion of the job and restart the EC2 instance when the next job starts.

Never done it myself but apparently you can run Java in Lambda all the way to latest version https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-java.html

key -The company wants to optimize the costs to run the job. the answer is B because lambda provides the most cost-effective,easy to mange and scalable solution.it minimizes the need to manage infrastructure because you only pay for the compute time used during job execution

can someone explain what makes A wrong, im aware that C hasnt covered all the requirements but A seems good with fargate serverless and autoscaling functionalities, plus AWS app2container is for .NET and JAVA

Statement: A company runs a Java-based job on an Amazon EC2 instance Requirement: The company wants to optimize the costs to run the job Regarding option A: App2Container is more likely for migratiing legacy application to conatiner based application. Which is not the main purpose of this use case. We are asked to reduce cost on a application that is already running under EC2 instance. So option B has the hight weight, cause lambda could perfectly do the job with the minimal cost

you only need to pay for the compute resources consumed as and when each Lambda function is actually running (for the running duration)

Selected Answer: B

AWS Lambda automatically scales resources to handle the workload, so you don't have to worry about managing the underlying infrastructure. It provisions the necessary compute resources based on the configured memory size (1 GB in this case) and executes the job in a serverless environment. By using Amazon EventBridge, you can create a scheduled rule to trigger the Lambda function every hour, ensuring that the job runs on the desired interval.
