Question

Difficulty: EasyDefine the benefits of the AWS Cloud

An agricultural technology company is migrating its crop monitoring analysis platform from an on-premises data center to the AWS Cloud. The company wants to focus its engineering resources on developing predictive soil algorithms rather than managing physical server racks and hardware cabling. Additionally, they want to pay only for the compute resources used during the active growing seasons, rather than purchasing physical servers that sit idle during winter. Which of the following AWS Cloud benefits directly align with this company's goals? (Select TWO.)

  1. Trade fixed expense for variable expenseAnswer
  2. Stop spending money running and maintaining data centersAnswer
  3. C
    Minimize operational expenses by increasing upfront capital investments in physical hardware
  4. D
    Tightly couple all software components within a monolithic architecture to maximize system efficiency
  5. E
    Implement manual scaling mechanisms to guarantee that resource capacity is always static regardless of user demand

Answer

The correct benefits are trading fixed expense for variable expense, and stopping spending money running and maintaining data centers.
The correct options are the ones stating we should trade fixed expense for variable expense and stop spending money running and maintaining data centers. The company's goal of paying only for active seasons maps to variable pricing, and their desire to avoid hardware management maps to leaving data center maintenance to AWS.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the company's requirement to pay only for resources used during active growing seasons instead of owning idle hardware.
This aligns with the cloud benefit of trading fixed expense (capital expenses for hardware) for variable expense (operational expenses based on usage).
By using the cloud, businesses only pay for the IT resources they consume, optimizing costs for seasonal workloads.
2
Analyze the company's requirement to focus on development of soil algorithms rather than managing server racks and hardware cabling.
This aligns with the cloud benefit of stopping spending money running and maintaining data centers.
AWS manages the physical infrastructure, power, cooling, and hardware maintenance, allowing customers to focus on business-differentiating activities.
