easy📝 Syntax Q3 of 15

AWS - ECS and Fargate

A"cpu": "512", "memory": "1024"

B"cpu": 512, "memory": 1024

C"cpu": "0.5 vCPU", "memory": "1 GB"

D"cpu": "512MB", "memory": "1GB"

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand Fargate CPU and memory format
Fargate requires CPU and memory values as strings representing CPU units and MiB respectively.
Step 2: Analyze options
"cpu": "512", "memory": "1024" correctly uses strings with numeric values representing CPU units (512) and memory in MiB (1024). "cpu": 512, "memory": 1024 uses numbers without quotes, which is invalid JSON for this context. Options C and D use incorrect units or formats not accepted by Fargate.
Final Answer:
"cpu": "512", "memory": "1024" -> Option A
Quick Check:
CPU and memory must be strings with numeric values [OK]

Quick Trick: Specify CPU and memory as strings with numeric values [OK]
