Explanation

Installing a Check Point cluster on AWS is best done through AWS Marketplace because it provides pre-validated, official Check Point AMIs (Amazon Machine Images) that are configured for AWS environments, ensuring compatibility, licensing, and proper CloudFormation templates are all handled through a trusted, integrated channel.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Check Point SK): SK articles are valuable reference documentation and troubleshooting guides, but they describe how to install - they are not the deployment mechanism itself.
• B (PowerShell): PowerShell is a scripting/automation tool; while it could invoke AWS APIs, it is not a recommended or standard deployment method for Check Point clusters on AWS.
• C (AWS Console): While you can launch EC2 instances from the console manually, this bypasses the pre-built Check Point templates and is error-prone - Marketplace deploys through the console via validated templates, making raw console deployment the inferior approach.

Memory tip: Think "Marketplace = validated + licensed + templated." AWS Marketplace is the official, vendor-approved storefront where Check Point publishes ready-to-deploy cluster solutions - if Check Point put it there, that's where you go get it.
