A company runs a multi-tier application on premises by using virtual machines (VMs).

The correct answers areA and D. The requirement is to replace third-party middleware with an AWS-native solution that supportsasynchronous communication,exactly-once delivery, and theleast infrastructure management.Amazon SQS FIFO queuesare the best messaging component because FIFO queues are designed for workloads that requireordered processingandexactly-once message deliverysemantics. That makes optionDthe correct messaging choice.

For the compute layer,AWS Lambdaprovides the least infrastructure management because it is a fully managed serverless compute service. Lambda removes the need to manage virtual machines, operating systems, or cluster infrastructure. It integrates naturally with queue-based asynchronous architectures and can be invoked to process messages from SQS while scaling automatically based on queue depth and workload demand. That makes optionAthe best choice for minimizing operational burden.

Option B is incorrect because EC2 instances would require the company to manage instance provisioning, patching, scaling, and availability. Option C is incorrect becauseAmazon SNSis a pub/sub messaging service and does not provide exactly-once delivery guarantees likeSQS FIFO. Option E is incorrect becauseAmazon EKSintroduces Kubernetes management overhead and is not the lowest-management compute option.

AWS best practices recommend using managed messaging and serverless compute to reduce undifferentiated operational work. For a migration that requires asynchronous processing with exactly-once delivery and minimal infrastructure management, the most appropriate architecture isAWS Lambda functionswithAmazon SQS FIFO queues.
