  1. Stop spending money running and maintaining data centersAnswer
  2. Trade capital expense for variable expenseAnswer
  3. C
    Trade variable expenses for capital expenses
  4. D
    Guess peak capacity in advance to ensure resources are always available
  5. E
    Deploy applications in a tightly coupled, monolithic architecture

Answer

The correct answers are the benefits to stop spending money running and maintaining data centers, and to trade capital expense for variable expense.
The benefit to stop spending money running and maintaining data centers directly addresses the desire to avoid managing power, cooling, and physical racks. The benefit to trade capital expense for variable expense allows the business to pay only for resources consumed, avoiding heavy upfront investments in physical infrastructure.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the company's core pain points in the scenario.
The company wants to avoid physical management overhead (racks, power, cooling) and capital investments associated with hardware.
This allows mapping the requirements to the standard benefits of cloud computing.
2
Match these needs to the six defined benefits of the AWS Cloud.
Avoiding infrastructure management matches 'Stop spending money running and maintaining data centers.' Shifting away from heavy upfront physical purchases matches 'Trade capital expense for variable expense.'
These two benefits directly alleviate the burden of physical hardware operations and cost structures.
