AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 624

A company wants to use the latest technologies and wants to minimize its capital investment. Instead of upgrading on-premises infrastructure, the company wants to move to the AWS Cloud.

Which AWS Cloud benefit does this scenario describe?

Answer options

• A. Increased speed to market
• B. The trade of infrastructure expenses for operating expenses
• C. Massive economies of scale
• D. The ability to go global in minutes

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Moving to the AWS Cloud allows organizations to trade capital expenses (upfront investments in physical hardware) for variable operating expenses (paying only for what is used). This eliminates the need to fund and maintain on-premises infrastructure. Other options like speed to market, economies of scale, and global reach represent different benefits of AWS that do not directly address the reduction of upfront capital investments.
