Question

Difficulty: EasyDefine the benefits of the AWS Cloud

A renewable energy firm is developing a smart grid monitoring application. They want to avoid buying expensive physical servers upfront and want the ability to deploy their application to wind farms located in multiple geographic regions around the world. Which two benefits of the AWS Cloud are they directly utilizing? (Select TWO.)

  1. Go global in minutesAnswer
  2. Trade capital expense for variable expenseAnswer
  3. C
    Trade variable expense for capital expense
  4. D
    Tightly coupling application components to reduce complexity
  5. E
    Scaling infrastructure manually based on predicted peak usage

Answer

The two benefits of the AWS Cloud are 'Go global in minutes' and 'Trade capital expense for variable expense'.
The renewable energy firm benefits from 'Trade capital expense for variable expense' by avoiding upfront hardware costs and instead paying only for the resources they use. They also benefit from 'Go global in minutes' because AWS allows them to deploy applications across multiple global regions with just a few clicks, reducing latency for wind farms around the world.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the firm's requirement to deploy applications to wind farms in multiple geographic regions.
This maps to 'Go global in minutes', which allows deploying applications globally with minimal latency.
AWS infrastructure spans multiple geographic regions, allowing applications to be deployed globally in minutes.
2
Analyze the requirement to avoid purchasing expensive physical servers upfront.
This maps to 'Trade capital expense for variable expense', where upfront capital expenses are replaced by variable operational expenses.
AWS charges only for the resources consumed, avoiding upfront hardware investments.
