You’ve been asked to move an existing development environment on the AWS Cloud. This environment consists mainly of Docker-based containers. You need to ensure that minimum effort is taken during the migration process. Which of the following step would you consider for this requirement?

Answer options:

A.Create an Opswork stack and deploy the Docker containers.
B.Create an application and Environment for the Docker containers in the Elastic Beanstalk service.
C.Create an EC2 Instance. Install Docker and deploy the necessary containers.
D.Create an EC2 Instance. Install Docker and deploy the necessary containers. Add an Autoscaling Group for scalability of the containers.

Answer – B
The Elastic Beanstalk service is the ideal service to quickly provision development environments. You can also create environments that can be used to host Docker-based containers.
Option A is incorrect since using Opswork is best suited when you have multiple stacks and want to use configuration tools for the environment.
Options C and D are incorrect since this would involve a lot of effort in deployment.
