Question 1

Your team has developed a stateless, containerized web application. Traffic to the application is highly unpredictable, with periods of zero traffic followed by sudden, massive spikes. You want to deploy this application with the least amount of operational overhead, and you only want to pay when the application is actively processing requests.

Which compute service should you choose?

Accepted Answer

Look for keywords: 'stateless', 'containerized', 'scales to zero', 'least operational overhead'. This points directly to a serverless container platform.

Question 2
