AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 451

Which of the following is an advantage that the AWS Cloud provides to users?

Answer options

• A. Users eliminate the need to guess about infrastructure capacity requirements.
• B. Users decrease their variable costs by maintaining sole ownership of IT hardware.
• C. Users maintain control of underlying IT infrastructure hardware.
• D. Users maintain control of operating systems for managed services.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Cloud allows users to eliminate guessing about infrastructure capacity requirements by offering the ability to scale resources up or down dynamically based on demand. In contrast, physical hardware ownership is not an AWS cloud benefit as AWS manages the physical infrastructure, and AWS manages the operating system for managed services, reducing customer control over those specific layers.
