AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 521

Which benefit of the AWS Cloud helps companies achieve lower usage costs because of the aggregate usage of all AWS users?

Answer options

• A. No need to guess capacity
• B. Ability to go global in minutes
• C. Economies of scale
• D. Increased speed and agility

Correct answer: C

Explanation

AWS achieves massive economies of scale by pooling the usage of hundreds of thousands of active customers, allowing them to pass savings back to customers in the form of lower usage costs. Other benefits like going global in minutes or eliminating guessing about capacity address deployment speed and elasticity, not cost reduction through aggregate volume.
