Which statements represent the cost-effectiveness of the AWS Cloud?
(Choose two.)
Users can trade fixed expenses for variable expenses.
Users can deploy all over the world in minutes.
AWS offers increased speed and agility.
AWS is responsible for patching the infrastructure.
Users benefit from economies of scale.
Explanations:
Users can shift from capital expenditures (CapEx) for hardware and data centers to operational expenditures (OpEx) based on usage, allowing for more flexibility and cost savings as they only pay for what they use.
While AWS does allow for quick global deployment, this statement does not directly relate to cost-effectiveness; it focuses more on speed and scalability rather than cost implications.
Increased speed and agility relate to operational efficiency but do not directly address cost-effectiveness. Cost-effectiveness is more about financial implications than operational advantages.
AWS’s responsibility for patching infrastructure relates to management and security rather than cost-effectiveness. It ensures operational efficiency but does not directly influence cost savings.
AWS benefits from economies of scale due to its vast infrastructure and customer base, which allows it to lower costs and pass savings on to users, making it more cost-effective compared to traditional IT models.
