Question #1028
Which AWS service enables administrators to deliver virtual applications to users without managing the underlying infrastructure?
AWS Organizations
AWS Fargate
AWS AppStream 2.0
AWS WAF
Explanation
AWS AppStream 2.0 is a fully managed service for streaming desktop applications to users. It eliminates the need to manage underlying infrastructure, as AWS handles provisioning, scaling, and maintenance. Administrators can focus on delivering applications while AWS manages the backend.
Why other options are incorrect:
- A. AWS Organizations: Manages multiple AWS accounts and policies, unrelated to application delivery.
- B. AWS Fargate: A serverless compute engine for containers, focused on deploying containerized apps, not virtual application streaming.
- D. AWS WAF: A web application firewall for security, not application delivery.
Key Points:
- AppStream 2.0 streams applications (e.g., Windows software) to browsers or devices.
- Fargate abstracts infrastructure for containers, but AppStream is purpose-built for virtual apps.
- Organizations and WAF address account governance and security, respectively.
