Your company has a set of development teams that work in a variety of programming languages.
They develop applications which have a lot of different application dependencies.
There is a move from the company to move these development environments onto AWS.
Which of the below is the best option to make this happen.

A. B. C. D.Answer - B.
The AWS Documentation mentions the following.
Elastic Beanstalk supports the deployment of web applications from Docker containers.
With Docker containers, you can define your own runtime environment.
You can choose your own platform, programming language, and any application dependencies (such as package managers or tools), that aren't supported by other platforms.
Docker containers are self-contained and include all the configuration information and software your web application requires to run.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create_deploy_docker.htmlOption B is the best choice to move development environments onto AWS, using the Elastic Beanstalk service and Docker containers to host each application environment for the developer community.
Elastic Beanstalk is a fully-managed service that allows developers to quickly deploy and manage applications on AWS. Elastic Beanstalk provides an easy-to-use web interface and CLI to create, deploy, and manage applications. It automatically handles the deployment, scaling, and monitoring of your application, freeing developers from infrastructure management tasks.
Using Docker containers with Elastic Beanstalk allows for a consistent development environment across different programming languages and application dependencies. Developers can package their applications along with all their dependencies into a Docker container, which can be easily deployed onto Elastic Beanstalk. This ensures that each developer environment is isolated, self-contained, and identical to the production environment, reducing the risk of deployment issues.
Option A, using CloudFormation to create Docker containers for each type of application, requires more manual effort from developers to create, manage, and deploy containers. It also lacks the automated deployment, scaling, and monitoring capabilities provided by Elastic Beanstalk.
Option C, using OpsWorks, is a more complex and customizable solution, which may be suitable for large and complex applications, but may be overkill for smaller development teams. It requires more expertise and resources to manage, maintain, and scale the infrastructure, compared to Elastic Beanstalk.
Option D, launching separate EC2 instances to host each application type, is a less efficient and more expensive option compared to using Elastic Beanstalk. It requires manual management of each instance, including software updates, security patches, and monitoring, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. It also lacks the auto-scaling and load-balancing capabilities provided by Elastic Beanstalk.
