AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 909

AWS has the ability to achieve lower pay-as-you-go pricing by aggregating usage across hundreds of thousands of users.
This describes which advantage of the AWS Cloud?

Answer options

• A. Launch globally in minutes
• B. Increase speed and agility
• C. High economies of scale
• D. No guessing about compute capacity

Correct answer: C

Explanation

By aggregating service usage from hundreds of thousands of active customers, AWS can achieve massive economies of scale and translate this into lower pay-as-you-go pricing. The other choices, such as deploying globally in minutes or boosting speed and agility, describe benefits related to global reach and operational efficiency rather than cost reduction through scale.
