Difficulty: HardDefine the benefits of the AWS Cloud

A financial technology company is launching a new international remittance application. The company must deploy its services in multiple geographic regions to provide a low-latency experience for users worldwide. Furthermore, transaction traffic is highly unpredictable, with extreme surges during holidays and minimal traffic during off-peak hours. The company wants to avoid both over-provisioning infrastructure and managing physical data centers. Which of the following benefits of the AWS Cloud directly align with the company's requirements? (Select TWO.)

  1. Go global in minutes, allowing the deployment of the application in multiple AWS Regions worldwide to minimize latency for users.Answer
  2. B
    Trading variable expenses for capital expenses (CapEx) to establish fixed, predictable infrastructure costs regardless of usage.
  3. Stop guessing capacity, enabling the application to automatically scale resources in or out based on real-time transaction volume.Answer
  4. D
    Deploying a monolithic architecture to consolidate compute resources and minimize the physical footprint of database nodes.
  5. E
    Increasing scalability by maintaining a static, maximum capacity threshold to prevent the latency overhead associated with dynamic resource adjustments.

Answer

The correct answers are the benefits to go global in minutes and to stop guessing capacity.
Deploying application endpoints globally to reduce latency for international users is the core definition of the AWS benefit 'Go global in minutes'. Automatically adjusting resource levels in response to variable transaction volume instead of over-provisioning infrastructure corresponds to the AWS benefit of 'Stop guessing capacity'. Together, these two benefits directly address the startup's requirements.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the requirement to deploy services globally with low latency.
Deploying the application in multiple geographic regions to reduce latency for international users aligns with the benefit 'Go global in minutes'.
AWS infrastructure allows deployment across multiple global regions in minutes.
2
Analyze the requirement to handle highly unpredictable, fluctuating traffic without over-provisioning.
Scaling resources dynamically to match actual demand rather than provisioning for maximum expected peak capacity aligns with the benefit 'Stop guessing capacity'.
Elasticity allows resources to adjust automatically to match workload variations.
3
Identify the incorrect options based on cloud concepts and economics.
Trading variable expenses for capital expenses is the reverse of AWS economics. Monolithic architectures are contrary to AWS design best practices. Static peak capacity planning is inefficient and directly opposes stopping guessing capacity.
This leaves the correct options as going global in minutes and stopping guessing capacity.
