Which of the following are advantages of moving from on premises to the AWS Cloud?
(Choose two.)
Trade variable expenses for capital expenses.
Eliminate costs related to running and maintaining data centers.
Benefit from massive economies of scale.
Eliminate the need to tram IT staff.
Gam the ability to reserve capacity for 7 years or more.
Explanations:
Moving to the AWS Cloud typically allows organizations to convert capital expenses into variable expenses, not the other way around. In traditional on-premises infrastructure, companies often invest heavily in hardware (capital expense), whereas cloud services usually operate on a pay-as-you-go model (variable expense).
By migrating to AWS, organizations can eliminate costs related to running and maintaining their own data centers, including expenses for power, cooling, hardware maintenance, and physical security. This is a significant advantage of moving to the cloud.
AWS benefits from massive economies of scale, allowing it to offer lower prices and better services than many individual organizations could achieve on their own. By leveraging shared resources, AWS can spread costs over a large number of customers, which can lead to lower prices for users.
While moving to AWS may change the roles of IT staff, it does not eliminate the need for skilled IT personnel. Organizations still require trained professionals to manage cloud resources, ensure security, and optimize usage, though the nature of the work may shift.
AWS does offer options for reserved capacity, but the typical terms are generally for 1 to 3 years, with some offerings extending to 5 years. The ability to reserve capacity for 7 years or more is not standard and is misleading in this context.
