AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 564

Which of the following is a benefit of operating in the AWS Cloud?

Answer options

• A. The ability to migrate on-premises network devices to the AWS Cloud
• B. The ability to expand compute, storage, and memory when needed
• C. The ability to host custom hardware in the AWS Cloud
• D. The ability to customize the underlying hypervisor layer for Amazon EC2

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Operating in the AWS Cloud provides elasticity, allowing users to dynamically scale compute, storage, and memory resources on demand to meet changing workloads. Conversely, AWS manages the underlying infrastructure and virtualization layer, meaning customers cannot host custom physical hardware, migrate physical network devices, or modify the Amazon EC2 hypervisor.
