Exam AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 topic 1 question 133 discussion

Trade fixed expense for variable expense and not vice versa, so option B

Obviously B, pay-as-you-go pricing. It is the same in every cloud platform e.g. Azure, GCP, AWS. Come on, we pay for this site here and they make so obvious mistakes... :(

B: Pay as you go - you don't always choose a fixed pricing model for your AWS services.

Are they doing this on purpose... to make us have these discussions lol

B. Pay-as-you-go pricing Pay-as-you-go pricing is a key advantage of cloud computing, particularly with AWS. It allows businesses to pay only for the resources they use, without any upfront costs or long-term commitments. This flexibility enables cost optimization and aligns expenses with actual usage, making it a preferred model for many organizations.

B. Pay-as-you-go pricing is correct.

Both options A and B seem applicable as benefits of using AWS for cloud computing. However, if you're looking for a single best answer, option B, "Pay-as-you-go pricing," is often emphasized as one of the primary benefits of using AWS. While option A, "Trade variable expense for fixed expense," is also a benefit, it's more specific to certain pricing models within AWS rather than being a universal characteristic like the pay-as-you-go pricing.

correct answer is B

it seems to me as A. Pay as-you-go is a "generic cloud benefit". With "AWS cloud services" you can trade some variable expenses for fixed expenses. This is due to multiple feature like saving plans, reserved instances etc... The pay as you go is always more expensive than reserved model.

B is the correct answer. People who have marked A need to really understand the statement "Trading variable costs for fixed costs", this means that you are giving up on variable costs to stick with fixed costs.

Cloud computing eliminates or significantly reduces CAPEX and we just need to deal with OPEX. That means Cloud computing trades fixed expenses (CAPEX) for variable expenses (OPEX) NOT the other way around. So "A" cannot be the answer. C & D are NOT the answers obviously. So "B" - Pay-as-you-go pricing is the answer.

Trade fixed expense for variable expense

Answer: A. Trading variable costs for fixed costs Cloud computing gives businesses the opportunity to trade variable costs for fixed costs. This means that businesses only pay for the resources they actually use. This can lead to significant cost savings as businesses no longer need to invest in hardware, software, and the maintenance of data centers. The other options are not advantages of using AWS for cloud computing: Pay-as-you-go pricing is a feature of cloud computing, but it is not always an advantage. Pay-as-you-go pricing can lead to higher costs if businesses are not able to utilize their resources efficiently.

B Is the correct one

The answer is given In the doc "Six advantages of cloud computing." The benefit from massive economies of scale is pay-as-you-go pricing. Reference: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/aws-overview/six-advantages-of-cloud-computing.html
