How does the AWS Cloud help companies build agility into their processes and cloud infrastructure?
Companies can avoid provisioning too much capacity when they do not know how much capacity is required.
Companies can expand into new geographic regions.
Companies can access a range of technologies to experiment and innovate quickly.
Companies can pay for IT resources only when they use the resources.
Explanations:
AWS allows companies to scale capacity up or down based on demand, but it does not specifically avoid provisioning too much capacity when demand is unknown. The flexibility comes in the ability to adjust capacity quickly as needed.
While AWS allows companies to expand into new regions, this is not the primary feature that drives agility in cloud infrastructure. Agility is more related to flexibility, scalability, and innovation.
AWS offers a wide range of technologies (e.g., machine learning, analytics, IoT) that enable companies to experiment and innovate quickly, fostering greater agility in developing new solutions.
AWS’s pay-as-you-go model is an important cost efficiency feature but does not directly describe agility in processes and infrastructure. Agility relates more to flexibility and speed in adapting resources.
I outline that the answer is:
Companies can access a range of technologies to experiment and innovate quickly.
