A Company Is Using AWS to Run an Internet-Facing Production

question 505

Multiple Choice

A company is using AWS to run an internet-facing production application written in Node.js. The Development team is responsible for pushing new versions of their software directly to production. The application software is updated multiple times a day. The team needs guidance from a Solutions Architect to help them deploy the software to the production fleet quickly and with the least amount of disruption to the service. Which option meets these requirements?

• A) Prepackage the software into an AMI and then use Auto Scaling to deploy the production fleet. For software changes, update the AMI and allow Auto Scaling to automatically push the new AMI to production.
• B) Use AWS CodeDeploy to push the prepackaged AMI to production. For software changes, reconfigure CodeDeploy with new AMI identification to push the new AMI to the production fleet.
• C) Use AWS Elastic Beanstalk to host the production application. For software changes, upload the new application version to Elastic Beanstalk to push this to the production fleet using a blue/green deployment method.
• D) Deploy the base AMI through Auto Scaling and bootstrap the software using user data. For software changes, SSH to each of the instances and replace the software with the new version.
