Question

Difficulty: HardDefine the benefits of the AWS Cloud

A municipal utility enterprise operates a smart grid analytics platform. The workload fluctuates dramatically and unpredictably based on seasonal weather patterns, leading to periods where on-premises servers run at 95% capacity, followed by weeks of near-zero utilization. To address this, the enterprise wants to migrate to a model where they only pay for resources when they are actively consumed, eliminating the need to pre-allocate hardware. Furthermore, they are mandated to quickly replicate their software environment to support municipal grids across South America and Europe with sub-second response times. Which of the following core benefits of the AWS Cloud directly support the resolution of these operational challenges? (Select TWO.)

  1. Stop guessing capacityAnswer
  2. Go global in minutesAnswer
  3. C
    Trading variable operating expenses for fixed capital expenses
  4. D
    Eliminating latency by scaling up individual instances vertically instead of scaling out horizontally
  5. E
    Deploying application components as a single, tightly coupled monolithic architecture to minimize overhead

Answer

The correct answers are the benefits to go global in minutes and to stop guessing capacity.
The correct options are stopping guessing capacity and going global in minutes. Stopping guessing capacity allows the utility enterprise to scale automatically to match variable workloads instead of maintaining idle on-premises hardware. Going global in minutes enables them to rapidly deploy applications to multiple global AWS Regions to reduce latency for municipal partners in South America and Europe.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the first requirement: dealing with dramatic, unpredictable workload fluctuations and eliminating pre-allocated hardware.
Identify that the ability to scale resources automatically to meet demand without upfront capacity planning corresponds to the AWS benefit of stopping guessing capacity.
This matches the operational challenge of weather-induced traffic spikes.
2
Analyze the second requirement: replicating the software environment across South America and Europe with sub-second response times.
Identify that the capability to deploy applications in multiple regions globally with minimal effort corresponds to the AWS benefit of going global in minutes.
This addresses the geographical expansion requirement with low latency.
