AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 701

A company that operates on-premises servers decides to start a new line of business. The company determines that additional servers are required for the new workloads.

Which advantage of cloud computing can help the company to provision additional infrastructure as quickly as possible?

Answer options

• A. Benefit from massive economies of scale
• B. Increase speed and agility
• C. Trade fixed expense for variable expense
• D. Go global in minutes

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Increasing speed and agility is the cloud computing benefit that allows resources to be provisioned in minutes instead of weeks, greatly reducing the time to deploy new infrastructure. While economies of scale, trading fixed for variable expenses, and going global in minutes are also benefits of cloud computing, they refer to cost savings and geographic reach rather than the rapid deployment speed of new resources.
