Which AWS service provides automation for creating a LAMP stack and setup of the ELB?

1. AWS Elastic Beanstalk

2. AWS Cloudfront

3. AWS Cloudformation

4. AWS DevOps

The correct answer is: AWS Elastic Beanstalk

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a platform as a service (PaaS) that simplifies the process of deploying and managing applications in the cloud. It enables developers to quickly set up a complete application stack without needing to manage the underlying infrastructure explicitly. When using AWS Elastic Beanstalk, it provides built-in support for creating a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) stack effortlessly. Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the deployment, such as provisioning the necessary Amazon EC2 instances, configuring load balancers (Elastic Load Balancing, ELB), and managing the scaling of resources. By using a simple deployment process, developers can focus on writing code while Elastic Beanstalk manages the details, which includes setting up the application, environment, and all required components. Other options, such as AWS CloudFormation, offer automation in infrastructure as code for defining AWS resources but do not specifically streamline the setup of application stacks like LAMP or inherently manage the integration of ELB with the application. AWS CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that focuses on securely delivering data, videos, and applications, but does not specifically deal with LAMP stacks or ELB setup. AWS DevOps is not a specific AWS service but rather
