An online retail company has seasonal sales spikes several times a year, primarily around holidays. Demand is lower at other times. The company finds it difficult to predict the increasing infrastructure demand for each season.
Which advantages of moving to the AWS Cloud would MOST benefit the company? (Choose two)
A) Global footprint
B) Elasticity
C) AWS service quotas
D) AWS shared responsibility model
E) Pay-as-you-go pricing
Solution
Correct answer: B) Elasticity and E) Pay-as-you-go pricing.
B - AWS offers elasticity, allowing resources to automatically scale up or down based on demand. This means the company can easily handle seasonal spikes in traffic without having to over-provision resources during slower periods, ensuring optimal performance and cost efficiency.
E - With AWS's pay-as-you-go pricing model, the company only pays for the resources it consumes, without any upfront costs or long-term commitments. This allows the company to scale resources up during peak periods and scale them down during slower times, paying only for what is used. This flexibility helps align costs with actual usage and optimize spending, particularly during seasonal fluctuations in demand.
