You are working on building microservices using Amazon ECS. This ECS will be deployed in an Amazon EC2 instance along with its Amazon ECS container agent. After successfully launching the EC2 instance, the Amazon ECS container agent has registered this instance in a cluster. What would be the status of the container instance & its corresponding agent connection when an ECS container is stopped?

Answer options:

A.Container instance status remains as ACTIVE and Agent connection status as TRUE after a few minutes.
B.Container instance status remains as ACTIVE and Agent connection status as FALSE after a few minutes.
C.Container instance changes status as INACTIVE and Agent connection status as FALSE after a few minutes.
D.Container instance changes status as INACTIVE and Agent connection status as TRUE after a few minutes.

Correct Answer – B
When an ECS container is stopped, the Container instance status remains Active, but the container Agent status changes to FALSE after a few minutes.
Option A is incorrect as when the ECS container is stopped, Agent connection status changes to False & not True.
Options C & D are incorrect as when the ECS container is stopped, the Container instance remains active & not inactive.
