Question

Difficulty: MediumDefine the benefits of the AWS Cloud

A mobile game studio wants to launch weekly experimental feature trials to gather player feedback. In their traditional on-premises environment, developers must wait several weeks for the IT department to procure and configure new physical server hardware for each test. By migrating to the AWS Cloud, the studio can now launch and terminate virtual servers in minutes, significantly reducing the cost and time required for experimentation.

Which benefit of the AWS Cloud is directly demonstrated by this scenario?

  1. Increase speed and agilityAnswer
  2. B
    Trade variable expense for fixed expense
  3. C
    Stop guessing capacity
  4. D
    Maximize economies of scale by deploying tightly coupled architectures

Answer

Increase speed and agility
The correct answer is the option stating 'Increase speed and agility'. In a cloud computing environment, new IT resources are just a click away, which reduces the time it takes to make those resources available to developers from weeks to minutes. This dramatically increases agility for the organization, as the cost and time to experiment and develop are significantly lower.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the business scenario described in the stem.
The game studio is transitioning from a weeks-long hardware procurement process to launching and terminating virtual servers within minutes to run experiments.
Understanding the core problem (slow provisioning vs. fast provisioning) helps map it to the correct AWS Cloud benefit.
2
Compare the scenario characteristics with the definition of 'Increase speed and agility' in AWS.
AWS defines 'Increase speed and agility' as having IT resources only a click away, reducing the time to make those resources available to developers from weeks to minutes, which lowers the cost and time to experiment.
This matches the scenario's focus on rapid provisioning for experimentation and development.
