AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 585

An ecommerce company plans to move its data center workload to the AWS Cloud to support highly dynamic usage patterns.

Which benefits make the AWS Cloud cost-effective for the migration of this type of workload? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Reliability
• B. Security
• C. Elasticity
• D. Pay-as-you-go resource
• E. High availability

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

Elasticity enables the system to automatically scale resources up or down in response to fluctuating demand, preventing unnecessary over-provisioning. When paired with a pay-as-you-go pricing model, the company only incurs costs for the resources actually utilized, maximizing cost-effectiveness. While reliability, security, and high availability are essential cloud benefits, they do not directly optimize costs for dynamic workloads.
