Question

A new application must run a security service in an isolated virtual machine (VM). The application must be physically close to the VM to reduce data transmission latency. Also, the application and the security service must be placed on the same compute resource to streamline the deployment. Which compute host will provide the LOWEST latency between the application and the VM?

Options

  • AAn Amazon ECS cluster on AWS Fargate
  • BAn AWS Elastic Beanstalk web server environment
  • CAn AWS Lambda application that uses a custom runtime

Explanation

An Amazon EC2 instance with AWS Nitro Enclaves provides a secure, isolated VM (enclave) that runs on the same physical host as the parent EC2 instance. This setup ensures the lowest possible latency between the application and the security service due to shared compute resources and local communication via vsock.
