  • Explain how this architecture's deployment pipeline differs from the EC2/AMI-based end-to-end example
  • Justify choosing ECS Fargate over the EC2-based scalable web app architecture for a given scenario
  • Identify where IAM task roles replace what an EC2 instance role would have done in the non-containerized version
