AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 471

Which of the following are advantages of the AWS Cloud? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Trade variable expenses for capital expenses
• B. High economies of scale
• C. Launch globally in minutes
• D. Focus on managing hardware infrastructure
• E. Over provision to ensure capacity

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

AWS Cloud benefits include massive economies of scale, which translate to lower pay-as-you-go prices, and the ability to deploy applications globally in minutes using AWS's worldwide infrastructure. Conversely, AWS allows customers to trade capital expenses for variable expenses (not vice versa), eliminates the need to manage physical hardware, and removes the requirement to over-provision capacity.
