Drupal Hosting on AWS

Question

What would be recommended way of hosting Drupal on AWS ? I am confused between the two taking into consideration that Drupal updates can be done smoothly and server maintainance is not required over time which option would be suitable.

1.Using Elastic Beanstalk with RDS Aurora MySQL
2.Using Fargate with ECS with RDS Aurora MySQL
Any other better options please suggest

Can Fargate ECS with Drupal use s3 instead of EFS?

Accepted Answer

It is better to use ECS Fargate, which does not require OS management.  
Drupal content could be stored in EFS and accessed from multiple ECS Fargate containers to easily handle scaling when the load grows.

Only static content such as html and png can be placed in S3.  
PHP and other content should continue to be managed in EFS.

Another option is Lightsail: https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-quick-start-guide-drupal
