Which service provides a fast, simple, and cost-effective way to deploy from source code or a container image directly to a scalable and secure web application in the AWS Cloud?

• A. AWS Batch
• B. Amazon EC2
• C. AWS App Runner
• D. Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)

Answer: (C)

Deploying from source code or a container image to a scalable, secure web application in AWS should be handled by a service that abstracts away infrastructure so you can focus on the app itself. AWS App Runner does exactly that: it’s a fully managed service that can pull your code from a repository or run a container image, build or deploy automatically, and run a scalable web service with a secure HTTPS endpoint and built-in load balancing. You pay only for what you use, and you avoid provisioning servers, managing clusters, or configuring load balancers and TLS yourself, which makes the process fast and cost-effective.

Other options don’t fit this use case: AWS Batch is for batch processing workloads rather than continuously running web apps; Amazon EC2 requires manual provisioning and scaling of servers; Amazon SES is a service for sending emails, not hosting web applications.
