AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 460

Which design principle should be considered when architecting in the AWS Cloud?

Answer options

• A. Think of servers as non-disposable resources
• B. Use synchronous integration of services
• C. Design loosely coupled components
• D. Implement the least permissive rules for security groups

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Designing loosely coupled components is a fundamental AWS Cloud design principle because it isolates components, ensuring that a failure in one service does not cascade to others. In contrast, cloud architectures benefit from treating servers as disposable resources and utilizing asynchronous integration to improve scalability and resilience.
