Which of the following is NOT considered an AWS compute service?

AWS Lambda
AWS Batch
AWS CloudFormation
AWS Elastic Beanstalk

The correct answer is: AWS CloudFormation

AWS CloudFormation is a service designed for infrastructure as code (IaC) and management of AWS resources. It allows users to define and provision AWS infrastructure using templates, but it does not provide compute resources or execute code itself. It acts as a framework to automate the setup and management of AWS services. In contrast, AWS Lambda, AWS Batch, and AWS Elastic Beanstalk are all compute services. AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that runs code in response to events, AWS Batch enables the execution of batch computing workloads, and AWS Elastic Beanstalk allows users to deploy and manage applications without managing the underlying infrastructure. Each of these services is specifically tailored for handling computations and workloads, which distinguishes them from CloudFormation’s role in resource management and orchestration.
