Question

Difficulty: MediumDefine the benefits of the AWS Cloud

A healthcare technology company needs to expand its services to international markets. Previously, provisioning new infrastructure in physical colocation facilities took several weeks. By migrating to AWS, the company can now deploy its telehealth application to patients globally in a matter of minutes and spin up new testing environments in seconds to accelerate software release cycles.

Which two benefits of the AWS Cloud does this scenario directly illustrate? (Select TWO.)

  1. Go global in minutesAnswer
  2. Increase speed and agilityAnswer
  3. C
    Trading variable expenses for capital expenses to ensure predictable billing
  4. D
    Eliminating the need to scale resources dynamically
  5. E
    Deploying applications using tightly coupled monolithic architectures to simplify resource management

Answer

Go global in minutes and Increase speed and agility
The correct options are the benefits that refer to global deployment and agility. Deploying to patients globally in a matter of minutes directly illustrates the ability to go global in minutes, utilizing AWS's global infrastructure. Spinning up testing environments in seconds to accelerate release cycles illustrates the increase in speed and agility by reducing the time required to provision resource environments for developer experimentation.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the business scenario and identify key infrastructure activities.
The scenario highlights deploying applications to international patients in minutes and spinning up testing environments in seconds.
This helps map the specific activities to the standard six benefits of the AWS Cloud.
2
Map the rapid global deployment activity to the corresponding AWS Cloud benefit.
Deploying internationally in minutes corresponds to the 'Go global in minutes' benefit.
AWS infrastructure allows developers to deploy applications in multiple regions around the world with just a few clicks.
3
Map the instant environment creation activity to the corresponding AWS Cloud benefit.
Spinning up new testing environments in seconds corresponds to 'Increase speed and agility'.
In a cloud environment, new resources are just a click away, dramatically reducing the time it takes to make those resources available to developers.
