A global logistics firm currently hosts its fleet-management application in an on-premises data center. The application experiences massive, unpredictable traffic spikes during holiday shopping seasons, but remains largely idle during the rest of the year. The company plans to migrate this application to AWS. Which two of the following options describe how the economics of the AWS Cloud will help the company optimize its infrastructure costs?
- Shifting from a capital expense (CapEx) model with high upfront hardware costs to a variable operating expense (OpEx) model.Cevap
- Leveraging cloud elasticity to automatically scale resources down during off-peak times, thereby eliminating expenses for idle capacity.Cevap
- CConverting variable operating expenses into fixed capital expenses to make yearly IT budgets more predictable.
- DEliminating variable usage billing by purchasing On-Demand EC2 instances to run at peak capacity continuously.
- EAchieving elasticity by pre-provisioning a fixed maximum capacity of resources to handle the seasonal traffic without scaling latency.
Cevap
The logistics company optimizes its costs on AWS by shifting from upfront capital expenses to variable operating expenses, and by using elasticity to scale down resources during periods of low activity to avoid paying for idle infrastructure.
Shifting from capital expenses to variable operating expenses allows the company to pay only for the resources they consume rather than making large upfront investments. Additionally, leveraging cloud elasticity allows resources to scale down during low-activity periods, which eliminates costs associated with idle on-premises hardware.
