AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 284

Which AWS benefit is demonstrated by on-demand technology services that enable companies to replace upfront fixed expenses with variable expenses?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Pay-as-you-go pricing enables organizations to only pay for the cloud resources they actually use, effectively transforming fixed upfront capital expenses into variable operating expenses. Other benefits like high availability, global reach, and economies of scale describe reliability, geographic distribution, and cost savings from scale, rather than the shift from fixed to variable cost structures.
