You work for a big company having multiple web applications that are very different from each other. These applications are built using different programming languages. How could you deploy these applications as quickly as possible?

Answer options:

A.Develop all the apps in a single Docker container and deploy using Elastic Beanstalk.
B.Create a Lambda function deployment package consisting of code and any dependencies.
C.Develop each app in a separate Docker container and deploy using Elastic Beanstalk.
D.Develop each app in separate Docker containers and deploy using CloudFormation.

Correct Answer – C
Elastic Beanstalk supports the deployment of web applications from Docker containers. With Docker containers, you can define your own runtime environment. You can choose your own platform, programming language, and application dependencies (such as package managers or tools) that aren`t supported by other platforms. Docker containers are self-contained and include all the configuration information and software your web application requires to run.
Option A is incorrect because the requirement is to deploy multiple apps that are very different from each other and developed with different programming languages.
Option B is ideally used for running code and not packaging the applications and dependencies.
Option D is incorrect as Deploying Docker containers using CloudFormation is also not an ideal choice.
