Question

Difficulty: MediumDefine the benefits of the AWS Cloud

A logistics provider is migrating its package routing application to AWS. Currently, the company maintains its own data centers to handle holiday shipping surges, which leaves servers underutilized for the rest of the year. Additionally, their IT team spends a significant portion of their time managing physical hardware updates and power infrastructure instead of developing routing algorithms. Which of the following AWS Cloud benefits directly address these specific challenges? (Select two.)

  1. Stop spending money running and maintaining data centersAnswer
  2. Stop guessing capacityAnswer
  3. C
    Trade variable expense for capital expense to minimize infrastructure costs
  4. D
    Ensure scalability by manually provisioning peak capacity to achieve elasticity
  5. E
    Deploy tightly coupled monolithic architectures to improve resource utilization

Answer

The correct answers are the benefits of stopping spending money running and maintaining data centers, and stopping guessing capacity.
The option about stopping spending money running and maintaining data centers directly addresses the logistics provider's struggle with managing physical hardware updates and power infrastructure. The option about stopping guessing capacity addresses the challenge of seasonal surges, preventing underutilized infrastructure during the rest of the year.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary operational pain points in the scenario: managing physical hardware/power infrastructure, and paying for idle server capacity during off-peak times.
Two distinct areas of inefficiency: physical data center management and rigid capacity provisioning.
These challenges map directly to standard AWS Cloud benefits.
2
Align the physical infrastructure challenge with the correct AWS benefit.
The effort spent on hardware and power is addressed by stopping spending money running and maintaining data centers.
AWS manages the physical infrastructure, freeing up IT resources.
3
Align the capacity underutilization challenge with the correct AWS benefit.
The challenge of holiday surges and idle resources is solved by stopping guessing capacity.
Elastic scaling allows resources to automatically match demand rather than relying on upfront capacity guesses.
