AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 458

Which of the following is an advantage of AWS Cloud computing?

Answer options

• A. Trade security for elasticity
• B. Trade operational excellence for agility
• C. Trade fixed expenses for variable expenses
• D. Trade elasticity for performance

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Trading fixed expenses for variable expenses is a fundamental benefit of cloud computing, allowing businesses to pay only for the resources they consume instead of investing heavily in physical infrastructure upfront. AWS is designed to improve security, agility, and performance without requiring trade-offs between these critical areas. Therefore, substituting fixed capital costs with variable operational costs is the correct advantage.
