You have an application currently hosted in your on-premises data center that needs to be migrated to AWS.  The application is currently running on Linux servers in the data center, and you want to minimize the amount of refactoring that's needed to migrate to AWS.  it's important that this workload is elastic and can support varying demand.  Which compute option would you choose?

EC2 instance
ECS container
A Lambda function

Correct Answer

EC2 instance

Explanation

AWS EC2 instance is the best solution as it is one-to-one mapping to migrate from the on-premises to the cloud.  This would be a quick and easy migration.

A lot of rework would be required if you want to use AWS Lambda or container services.  You will need to refactor your solution in this case with a lot of effort.
