A company wants to use Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) to run its on-premises application in a hybrid environment. The application currently runs in on-premises containers. The company needs a single container solution that can scale on-premises, hybrid, or cloud, must run new containers in the AWS Cloud, and must use a load balancer for HTTP traffic. Which combination of actions meets these requirements? (Choose two.)

Correct answer: Set up an ECS cluster that uses the AWS Fargate launch type for the cloud application containers and use Amazon ECS Anywhere external launch type for the on-premises application containers., Set up an Application Load Balancer for cloud ECS services..
Why this is the answer
The correct options address the requirements for a hybrid container solution with scaling and load balancing. Setting up an ECS cluster with AWS Fargate for cloud containers provides serverless scaling in AWS. Using Amazon ECS Anywhere with an external launch type allows the company to manage and scale on-premises containers using the same ECS control plane, fulfilling the hybrid requirement. An Application Load Balancer (ALB) is suitable for HTTP traffic, as specified, and can distribute requests to ECS services in the cloud. A Network Load Balancer (NLB) is incorrect because it operates at Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) and is not optimized for HTTP traffic. Using Fargate for both cloud and on-premises containers is incorrect because
