Difficulty: EasyAWS Marketplace

An organization is looking to procure a third-party security scanner to run on their Amazon EC2 instances. Which of the following are primary benefits of purchasing this software through AWS Marketplace? (Select TWO.)

  1. The subscription costs for third-party software are integrated into the customer's consolidated AWS invoice.Answer
  2. Users can quickly deploy pre-configured software directly to AWS services such as Amazon EC2.Answer
  3. C
    AWS assumes full operational responsibility for patching and maintaining the third-party application code.
  4. D
    Software purchases automatically convert software licensing fees into upfront capital expenses (CapEx).
  5. E
    Purchasing software automatically upgrades the customer's AWS Support plan to the Enterprise tier.

Answer

The primary benefits of purchasing software through AWS Marketplace are that subscription costs are integrated into the consolidated AWS invoice, and users can quickly deploy pre-configured software to AWS services.
AWS Marketplace simplifies software management by consolidating third-party software charges onto the existing AWS invoice, and by allowing quick deployment of pre-configured software (such as AMIs or container images) directly onto AWS resources.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the features of AWS Marketplace related to billing and deployment.
AWS Marketplace allows customers to find, buy, and immediately deploy third-party software. Charges for these products are consolidated into the customer's regular AWS bill.
This helps identify the simplified billing and rapid deployment benefits.
2
Evaluate the options against AWS Cloud economics, support plans, and the Shared Responsibility Model.
AWS does not manage third-party software patching, licensing is typically OpEx rather than CapEx, and AWS Marketplace purchases do not change the AWS Support plan tier.
This rules out the incorrect options.

Key Concept

AWS Marketplace simplifies the procurement, billing, and deployment of third-party software on AWS.
