Question

Difficulty: MediumDefine the benefits of the AWS Cloud

A smart home security startup wants to enable its development team to quickly build, test, and tear down experimental video analytics features. In their on-premises environment, procuring, installing, and configuring the required physical servers to test new features would take several weeks. By migrating to AWS, developers can provision and configure the necessary virtual servers and services in a few clicks, reducing setup time to minutes. Which benefit of the AWS Cloud is directly demonstrated by this scenario?

  1. A
    Trade capital expense for variable expense
  2. Increase speed and agilityAnswer
  3. C
    Stop guessing capacity
  4. D
    Go global in minutes by deploying resources across multiple Availability Zones within a single AWS Region

Answer

Increase speed and agility
The correct answer is the option stating 'Increase speed and agility'. The scenario describes the ability for developers to provision and configure resources in minutes instead of weeks, which directly aligns with AWS's definition of increasing speed and agility by making new IT resources only a click away.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the business scenario provided in the question stem.
The startup needs to quickly set up and tear down environments for feature experimentation. AWS reduces this setup time from weeks to minutes.
Understanding the key pain point (slow infrastructure provisioning) and the resolution (rapid provisioning via AWS) helps identify the specific benefit demonstrated.
2
Map the scenario features to the six core AWS Cloud benefits.
Reducing resource availability time from weeks to minutes for developers is the definition of increasing speed and agility.
AWS explicitly defines 'Increase speed and agility' as reducing the time to make IT resources available to developers from weeks to minutes, making this the correct match.
