Question

Difficulty: MediumDefine the benefits of the AWS Cloud

A financial technology company is migrating its batch reconciliation system to the AWS Cloud. In their on-premises environment, the team had to wait several months to procure and install server racks, power systems, and physical security controls in their private server room. After migrating to AWS, developers can provision and test infrastructure within minutes, eliminating the need to manage physical infrastructure and power systems. Which of the following are benefits of the AWS Cloud illustrated by this scenario? (Select TWO.)

  1. Increase speed and agilityAnswer
  2. Stop spending money running and maintaining data centersAnswer
  3. C
    The capability to trade variable expenses for capital expenses
  4. D
    The reliance on vertical scaling to automatically achieve resource elasticity
  5. E
    The optimization of workloads by hosting them on tightly coupled monolithic systems

Answer

The benefits of the AWS Cloud demonstrated by this scenario are increasing speed and agility, and stopping spending money running and maintaining data centers.
The scenario highlights that the developers can now provision and test infrastructure within minutes instead of waiting months for physical hardware procurement, which directly aligns with increasing speed and agility. Furthermore, by no longer managing physical server racks, power systems, and security controls in a private server room, the company eliminates the overhead associated with running and maintaining data centers.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the transition described in the scenario to identify improvements in speed and infrastructure management.
The team can now provision infrastructure in minutes instead of months, and they no longer manage physical server racks, power systems, or data center security.
This establishes the factual outcomes of the migration to map to cloud benefits.
2
Map these outcomes to the official six benefits of the AWS Cloud.
Reducing setup time from months to minutes aligns with 'Increase speed and agility'. Eliminating physical infrastructure management aligns with 'Stop spending money running and maintaining data centers'.
To identify which specific defined AWS Cloud benefits are shown.
3
Evaluate the incorrect options to confirm they represent misconceptions.
Trading variable expenses for capital expenses is the reverse of the actual model; vertical scaling does not constitute elasticity; monolithic design runs counter to loose coupling.
To ensure that the incorrect options are logically ruled out.
