Question

Difficulty: MediumDefine the benefits of the AWS Cloud

A regional transit authority is modernizing its passenger information system. The authority needs to deploy the tracking application across multiple geographic regions to ensure low-latency arrival predictions for international travelers, and wants to eliminate the overhead of managing physical server racks, cooling, and power in its local offices. Which of the following benefits of the AWS Cloud directly align with these requirements? (Select TWO.)

  1. Go global in minutesAnswer
  2. Stop spending money running and maintaining data centersAnswer
  3. C
    Trade variable expenses for capital expenses
  4. D
    Pre-allocate and guess capacity to prevent service disruption
  5. E
    Design monolithic applications to centralize system control

Answer

The benefits of going global in minutes and stopping spending money running and maintaining data centers align with these requirements.
Deploying the application across multiple geographic regions to reduce latency maps to the benefit of going global in minutes. Eliminating the overhead of running physical infrastructure (racks, power, cooling) maps to the benefit of stopping spending money running and maintaining data centers.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the transit authority's requirements.
Two primary requirements are identified: deploying the tracking application in multiple geographic regions for low-latency updates, and eliminating the operational overhead of physical server racks, power, and cooling.
Understanding requirements maps them to specific cloud benefits.
2
Evaluate the requirement for multi-region deployment.
Deploying applications globally with minimal effort corresponds to the 'Go global in minutes' benefit.
AWS Global Infrastructure enables regional deployment to reduce latency for users worldwide.
3
Evaluate the requirement to eliminate server rack, cooling, and power management.
Eliminating physical infrastructure upkeep corresponds to the 'Stop spending money running and maintaining data centers' benefit.
AWS manages physical data center logistics, freeing customers from infrastructure maintenance.
