Questions 1 to 3

Question 1

A development team needs to host a website that will be accessed by other teams. The website contents consist of HTML, CSS, client-side JavaScript, and images. A solutions architect has been asked to recommend a solution for hosting the website.

Which solution is the most cost-effective?

1. Containerize the website, and host it in AWS Fargate.
2. Create an Amazon S3 bucket, and host the website there.
3. Deploy a web server on an Amazon EC2 instance to host the website.
4. Configure an Application Load Balancer with an AWS Lambda target.

Correct Answer: 2

Explanation: You can use Amazon S3 to host a static website. On a static website, individual web pages include static content. They might also contain client-side scripts. To host a static website on Amazon S3, you configure an Amazon S3 bucket for website hosting, and then upload your website content to the bucket. When you configure a bucket as a static website, you must enable website hosting, set permissions, and create and add an index document. Depending on your website requirements, you can also configure redirects, web traffic logging, and a custom error document. An S3 static website is ideal for this use case, and it will also be the most cost-effective option.
