Zorluk: KolayUnderstand concepts of cloud economics

A digital marketing agency runs website analytics reports for its clients. The reports are generated only during the first three days of each month, leaving their on-premises servers underutilized for the rest of the month. The agency is planning to migrate these workloads to AWS.

Which TWO of the following describe the primary cloud economic benefits of this migration? (Select TWO.)

  1. Shifting from capital expenses (CapEx) for physical hardware to variable operating expenses (OpEx) based on actual usageCevap
  2. Benefiting from elasticity by provisioning compute resources dynamically for the three-day reporting period and terminating them afterwardCevap
  3. C
    Replacing variable operational expenses (OpEx) with fixed capital expenses (CapEx) to ensure predictable cloud billing
  4. D
    Relying on automatic horizontal scaling to permanently store data across multiple AWS regions at zero cost
  5. E
    Using a lift-and-shift migration strategy to completely eliminate all operating expenses (OpEx) for their servers

Cevap

The primary economic benefits are shifting from capital expenses (CapEx) to variable operating expenses (OpEx), and leveraging elasticity to run compute resources only during the three-day reporting window.
The correct options identify that migrating to AWS allows the agency to transition from upfront physical hardware investments (CapEx) to variable utility-style billing (OpEx), and allows them to utilize elasticity to provision compute instances only for the three days they are needed, reducing overall infrastructure costs.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the agency's workload pattern and current resource allocation.
The agency runs a workload for only three days per month, causing physical on-premises servers to remain idle and waste capital investment for the remaining 27 days.
Understanding the customer's usage pattern highlights the financial inefficiency of static on-premises sizing.
2
Apply AWS cloud economics principles to optimize the cost of the workload.
By shifting to a variable expense model (OpEx) and utilizing elasticity, the agency pays only for the server capacity used during the active three days, avoiding upfront hardware investments (CapEx).
Matching resource capacity to actual demand is the primary driver of cloud cost savings.

Anahtar Kavram

Cloud economics benefits, specifically the shift from CapEx to OpEx and the cost-saving power of elasticity.
