Bug in the unswer? Beanstalk vs ECS

Why is the correct answer Elastic Beanstalk?<br data-start=”95″ data-end=”98″> It’s possible that the correct answer could be ECS for this reason:

Hello Ruben,

Thanks for reaching out. AWS Elastic Beanstalk is designed to make deploying Docker applications easier by automatically handling the infrastructure tasks like load balancing, auto-scaling, monitoring, and container placement. It lets you upload your application code, and it takes care of setting up and managing the environment for you.

While Elastic Beanstalk uses Amazon ECS under the hood for multi-container Docker apps, it simplifies the process by managing the cluster and scaling automatically. This means users don’t need to configure ECS components directly.

Amazon ECS offers more detailed control over container orchestration, but it requires manual setup of load balancers, scaling policies, and monitoring, which can be complex.

Since the question emphasizes a solution that automatically manages these features to easily port the app, Elastic Beanstalk is the best fit.

You can read more about this in the AWS documentation here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create_deploy_docker.html

I hope this helps clarify the difference. Let me know if you have more questions.

Best,

Irene @ Tutorials Dojo
