Zorluk: OrtaUnderstand concepts of cloud economics

A custom apparel startup, PrintVibe, experiences highly variable website traffic that spikes unpredictably when social media influencers feature their products. To minimize infrastructure costs, the startup wants to avoid paying for idle server capacity during low-traffic periods while ensuring their application can handle sudden surges. Which of the following cloud concepts directly addresses this economic goal?

  1. Elasticity, which allows the startup to dynamically scale resources to match demand and pay only for what is usedCevap
  2. B
    Scalability, which allows the startup to permanently over-provision infrastructure to handle peak loads without service disruption
  3. C
    Capital expense (CapEx) capitalization, which allows the startup to depreciate their cloud resource usage as fixed physical assets
  4. D
    Rehosting, which is an AWS billing framework that automatically applies volume discounts to newly migrated workloads

Cevap

Elasticity, which allows the startup to dynamically scale resources to match demand and pay only for what is used
The correct answer is the option focusing on elasticity. Elasticity is a core cloud economics driver that allows organizations to match resource supply with real-time demand. By dynamically scaling resources up during traffic surges and down during quiet periods, PrintVibe avoids paying for idle capacity, ensuring high cost efficiency.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the business scenario and requirements
The startup needs to handle highly variable, unpredictable spikes in traffic without paying for idle server capacity during low-traffic periods.
This establishes that the core need is to match resource provisioning directly with actual demand to minimize waste.
2
Evaluate the options against AWS cloud economics principles
Elasticity is the specific cloud concept that enables dynamic scaling to match demand, shifting from a fixed-capacity mindset to a pay-as-you-go model.
Understanding the difference between elasticity (dynamic adjustment) and scalability (handling growth, often statically configured) identifies the correct financial optimizer.
