As a Cloud Architect, you have been assigned the job of designing the updated application with a serverless architecture that minimizes operational complexity.
Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?
- A. Upload the container images to Function Compute as functions, and configure a concurrency limit to handle the peak load. Serve the functions over API Gateway.
- B. Upload the container images to Alibaba Cloud Container Registry (ACR) and configure two Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) Managed clusters to manage the expected load. Deploy services from the ACR images, and configure an ALB for each of the ACK Managed clusters.
- C. Upload the container images to Alibaba Cloud Container Registry (ACR) and configure two Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) Serverless clusters to manage the expected load.
