AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 186

A company is reviewing the current costs of running its own infrastructure on premises. The company wants to compare these on-premises costs to the costs of running infrastructure in the AWS Cloud.

How should the company make this comparison?

Answer options

• A. Review the AWS shared responsibility model.
• B. Audit existing software and hardware licensing costs.
• C. Analyze the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
• D. Use Migration Evaluator.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the Migration Evaluator provides insights and comparisons of on-premises costs to AWS Cloud expenditures. Options A, B, and C do not directly facilitate a cost comparison; they focus on responsibilities, licensing, and architectural best practices instead.
