AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 450

Which statements represent the cost-effectiveness of the AWS Cloud? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Users can trade fixed expenses for variable expenses.
• B. Users can deploy all over the world in minutes.
• C. AWS offers increased speed and agility.
• D. AWS is responsible for patching the infrastructure.
• E. Users benefit from economies of scale.

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

Trading capital expenses for variable expenses allows organizations to pay only for what they consume, rather than investing heavily in physical data centers upfront. Additionally, AWS's massive scale allows it to pass savings on to customers through lower pay-as-you-go prices (economies of scale). The other options describe global reach, operational agility, and shared responsibility, which are not directly categorized as financial/cost-effectiveness benefits.
