The county assessor office runs a six-hour nightly valuation batch that currently occupies a farm of always-on on-premises servers idle all day. After migration, which compute platform selection best fits that batch shape?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A nightly job is a night-shift crew, not a receptionist paid around the clock. Batch or scheduled ECS tasks clock in, finish the valuations, and leave. Always-on EC2 for an idle farm is a habit, and Lambda's short timeout isn't a six-hour shift.
Full Explanation
Batch workloads with long nightly windows and daytime idle time map to AWS Batch or scheduled Amazon ECS rather than always-on EC2 capacity. Those platforms provision compute for the job duration and release it afterward, improving cost and operations. Twenty-four-hour EC2 farms, Lambda's maximum duration for a six-hour job, and CloudFront as a compute runtime are incorrect platform selections.
