AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner

Explanation

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is the correct answer because it's specifically designed for quickly deploying and managing applications in the AWS Cloud with minimal infrastructure management.

Why AWS Elastic Beanstalk is correct:

1. Quick Deployment: Elastic Beanstalk allows developers to upload their application code, and it automatically handles the deployment, capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling, and application health monitoring.

2. Infrastructure as Code: While Elastic Beanstalk manages the infrastructure automatically, it also allows for customization through configuration files, enabling infrastructure-as-code practices.

3. Developer Focus: It abstracts the underlying infrastructure complexity, allowing developers to focus on writing code rather than managing infrastructure.

Why other options are incorrect:

AWS AppSync - This is a managed GraphQL service for building data-driven applications, not for deploying application infrastructure.

AWS Config - This is a service for assessing, auditing, and evaluating AWS resource configurations for compliance, not for application deployment.

AWS Outposts - This is a hybrid cloud service that extends AWS infrastructure to on-premises data centers, not for quick cloud application deployment.

Key Features of AWS Elastic Beanstalk:

• Supports multiple programming languages (Java, .NET, PHP, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, Docker)

• Automatically handles capacity provisioning, load balancing, scaling, and application health monitoring

• Allows customization through configuration files

• Integrates with other AWS services like RDS, S3, and CloudWatch

• Provides easy deployment and rollback capabilities
