ITGSS Certified DevOps Engineer Practice Test

AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that allows users to run their applications without needing to provision or manage the server infrastructure. This is a critical enabler for organizations adopting DevOps practices, as it simplifies the deployment and management of containerized applications. By eliminating the need to manage server infrastructures, Fargate abstracts away the underlying infrastructure management, enabling developers and operations teams to focus on building and deploying applications instead of worrying about hardware, scaling, or patching servers. This also facilitates a microservices architecture, where you can run each component of an application in its own isolated container without worrying about the hardware that powers it. In contrast, the other options involve aspects that may still require attention in some contexts. Using public IP addresses and scaling instances manually might be part of a broader network or scaling strategy, but Fargate provides the flexibility to manage such configurations automatically or transparently. Deploying applications is a necessary step in any cloud environment, but with Fargate, the complexity of managing infrastructure is significantly reduced, simplifying deployment overall.
