Question

Difficulty: MediumDefine the benefits of the AWS Cloud

A biotechnology company runs high-throughput genomic sequencing pipelines that require massive computational power for a few weeks every quarter. During the off-peak months, their compute usage is negligible. Furthermore, they need to deploy their data-analysis portal across multiple geographic regions to ensure low-latency access for global research collaborators.

Which of the following AWS Cloud benefits directly address these operational requirements? (Select TWO.)

  1. Go global in minutesAnswer
  2. Stop guessing capacityAnswer
  3. C
    Trade variable expense for capital expense
  4. D
    Design monolithic applications to minimize integration latency
  5. E
    Achieve high scalability by always maintaining maximum capacity for potential spikes

Answer

The correct answers are the options stating 'Go global in minutes' and 'Stop guessing capacity'.
The correct options are 'Go global in minutes' and 'Stop guessing capacity'. 'Go global in minutes' enables the company to deploy their application globally across multiple AWS Regions for lower latency. 'Stop guessing capacity' allows them to scale resources up and down to match their variable genomic sequencing workload rather than maintaining idle infrastructure.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the business requirements from the scenario.
The company has a highly variable workload (running for a few weeks quarterly) and needs low-latency access for global collaborators in North America, Europe, and Asia.
Identifying the specific operational needs maps them to the corresponding AWS Cloud benefits.
2
Map the variable compute workload needs to AWS Cloud benefits.
Instead of guessing capacity or purchasing fixed servers, they should scale dynamically. This maps to the benefit of 'Stop guessing capacity'.
AWS allows dynamic scaling of infrastructure to handle peaks and scale down when not in use.
3
Map the global low-latency requirements to AWS Cloud benefits.
They can deploy resources to multiple AWS Regions globally in minutes. This maps to the benefit of 'Go global in minutes'.
Global deployment allows workloads and data-analysis portals to be located closer to collaborators.
