A county assessor runs nightly parcel GIS batch jobs that need managed provisioning of compute for containerized or AMI-based workers. Which service best fits this large-scale batch pattern?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Nightly GIS crunch is classic batch: queue the work, spin compute, tear it down. AWS Batch managed compute environments handle that orchestration so the assessor isn’t babysitting an ad-hoc EC2 farm. Cognito is identity, ACM is certificates, and CloudWatch alarms alone don’t run the jobs.
Full Explanation
AWS Batch enables efficient execution of batch computing workloads by managing job queues and compute environments, including managed environments that provision underlying EC2 or Fargate resources. Nightly parcel GIS processing is a representative municipal batch use case under Task 3.2. Identity, certificate, and alarm services do not replace a batch compute orchestrator.
