Zorluk: OrtaUnderstand concepts of cloud economics

A logistics company is migrating its regional package tracking system to AWS. The system requires constant baseline compute capacity to track shipments, but it experiences sudden, unpredictable load spikes during major holiday shipping seasons. The company wants to optimize its infrastructure costs compared to its current on-premises data center model.

Which of the following actions align with the core concepts of cloud economics to achieve these cost optimization goals? (Select TWO.)

  1. Transitioning from capital expenditures (CapEx) to operating expenditures (OpEx) by paying only for active compute resources instead of buying physical hardwareCevap
  2. Configuring the infrastructure to automatically scale down during off-peak hours to eliminate payments for idle capacityCevap
  3. C
    Purchasing physical server hardware upfront to ensure enough capacity is always available for peak holiday demands
  4. D
    Deploying a single, massive database instance that is permanently provisioned to handle the maximum expected holiday peak traffic
  5. E
    Relying exclusively on On-Demand EC2 instances to run the predictable baseline workload that operates continuously

Cevap

Transitioning from capital expenditures (CapEx) to operating expenditures (OpEx) by paying only for active compute resources instead of buying physical hardware, and configuring the infrastructure to automatically scale down during off-peak hours to eliminate payments for idle capacity.
The correct options reflect the transition from capital expenditures to variable operating expenditures, and the application of elasticity to match capacity with demand to avoid paying for idle resources.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the financial model changes associated with migrating to AWS.
Transitioning from purchasing physical hardware (CapEx) to paying only for used cloud services (OpEx) reduces upfront costs.
Cloud computing replaces upfront capital infrastructure expenses with low variable operating expenses.
2
Evaluate how elasticity affects the cost of fluctuating workloads.
Scaling resources down dynamically during off-peak hours reduces costs by matching capacity with demand.
Elasticity prevents overprovisioning and ensures that the company does not pay for idle infrastructure when demand drops.

Anahtar Kavram

Cloud economics relies on transitioning from upfront CapEx to variable OpEx, and using elasticity to pay only for active resources, avoiding the cost of idle capacity.
