Which of the following is an advantage that the AWS Cloud provides to users?
Users eliminate the need to guess about infrastructure capacity requirements.
Users decrease their variable costs by maintaining sole ownership of IT hardware.
Users maintain control of underlying IT infrastructure hardware.
Users maintain control of operating systems for managed services.
Explanations:
AWS Cloud allows users to scale resources up or down based on actual demand, removing the need to predict infrastructure capacity requirements. This elasticity enables efficient resource utilization and cost savings.
AWS Cloud operates on a pay-as-you-go model, which generally decreases variable costs by sharing resources rather than maintaining sole ownership of IT hardware. Users benefit from reduced capital expenditures and operational expenses.
In AWS Cloud, users do not maintain control over the underlying hardware infrastructure, as it is managed by AWS. Users can control their virtual resources and configurations, but the physical hardware is owned and maintained by AWS.
While users can control the operating systems for their instances, managed services (like AWS Lambda or Amazon RDS) abstract this control. Users do not have direct control over the underlying operating systems in managed services; AWS handles that for them.
