A rehosted municipal intranet previously ran on a single tower server and must gain elasticity after landing in AWS. Which compute platform selection best fits?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
One lonely tower server is a single point of oops. Put the intranet on EC2 Auto Scaling behind an ALB so traffic and failures share the load like a team, not a hero machine.
Full Explanation
After rehost, architects should select a compute platform that meets elasticity and availability goals. EC2 Auto Scaling with an Application Load Balancer replaces a single tower SPOF with horizontal scale and health-based routing. A single oversized instance, lobby appliances, and Snowball Edge as a permanent web tier do not meet that target architecture.
