A developer is creating a Ruby application and needs to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of an environment without requiring knowledge of the underlying infrastructure.
Which service would best accomplish this task?
AWS CodeDeploy
AWS CloudFormation
AWS OpsWorks
AWS Elastic Beanstalk
Explanations:
AWS CodeDeploy automates code deployments to EC2 or on-premises servers, but it does not handle scaling or environment management.
AWS CloudFormation is an infrastructure-as-code tool that helps provision and manage resources, but it requires knowledge of infrastructure.
AWS OpsWorks provides configuration management and deployment with Chef or Puppet, but it requires more infrastructure knowledge than Elastic Beanstalk.
AWS Elastic Beanstalk automates deployment, scaling, and management of applications without requiring infrastructure knowledge.
I figure that the answer is:
AWS Elastic Beanstalk
