Exam AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner topic 1 question 139 discussion

The correct options are: A. AWS replaces upfront capital expenditures with pay-as-you-go costs. D. AWS uses economies of scale to continually reduce prices. Explanation: AWS offers lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than on-premises data centers in several ways. First, AWS replaces upfront capital expenditures with pay-as-you-go costs. Instead of purchasing and maintaining hardware, software, and facilities, users pay only for the computing resources they actually use. Second, AWS uses economies of scale to continually reduce prices, resulting in lower costs for users over time. This is possible because AWS has a large global infrastructure, which enables it to negotiate better prices for hardware and software, and to spread the costs of its operations over a large number of customers. By contrast, on-premises data centers require significant upfront investments, and users must bear the costs of maintaining and upgrading their equipment and facilities over time.

Correct A. AWS replaces upfront capital expenditures with pay-as-you-go costs. B. AWS is designed for high availability, which eliminates user downtime. >> Customers are still responsible for architecting their workloads to ensure high availability and reduce/ eliminate downtime C. AWS eliminates the need for on-premises IT staff. >> The cloud might reduce IT operational costs, but it doesn't necessarily eliminate IT staff completely Correct D. AWS uses economies of scale to continually reduce prices. E. AWS offers a single pricing model for Amazon EC2 instances. >> it offers multiple price models

C is wrong: you still need on premises IT staff that maintains at a minimum the local network infrastructure required to connect to AWS. Common sense people!

A y C son las correctas, aqui estamos hablando costos de propiedad, lo que quiere decirnos la pregunta es que gana el cliente si deja de tener data center y es correcto, que pasando a AWS pagara los recursos por uso y dejara de tener personal TI para mantener el data center local

A. AWS replaces upfront capital expenditures with pay-as-you-go costs. D. AWS uses economies of scale to continually reduce prices.

C is not correct. While the AWS Cloud reduces (not eliminates) the need for on-premises staff to manage and maintain infrastructure, organizations still require skilled personnel to manage and optimize their AWS resources and configurations. The roles and responsibilities may shift, but the need for IT staff remains.

A. AWS replaces upfront capital expenditures with pay-as-you-go costs: With AWS, users pay for the computing resources they actually use on a pay-as-you-go basis, eliminating the need for large upfront capital expenditures for hardware and infrastructure. D. AWS uses economies of scale to continually reduce prices: AWS operates at a large scale, serving millions of customers, which allows them to benefit from economies of scale. As a result, AWS continually reduces prices for its services, providing cost savings for customers.

C is not the right answer since you most likely still need IT staff on-premise.

There are 3 options correct

The two ways in which the AWS Cloud offers a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) of computing resources than on-premises data centers are: A. AWS replaces upfront capital expenditures with pay-as-you-go costs, allowing users to pay only for the computing resources they actually use, without having to make an upfront capital investment in hardware and software. D. AWS uses economies of scale to continually reduce prices, passing on the savings to customers. This allows customers to benefit from lower costs over time, without having to negotiate lower prices or renegotiate contracts.

C not true - staff still needed to admin AWS

A - yes. fixed costs are almost eliminated B - not directly related to cost reduction C - not true D - yes E - no

The two ways in which the AWS Cloud offers lower total cost of ownership (TCO) of computing resources than on-premises data centers are: A. AWS replaces upfront capital expenditures with pay-as-you-go costs: With AWS, users only pay for what they use, without the need for upfront investments in hardware, facilities, and maintenance. This pay-as-you-go model can result in significant cost savings, especially for organizations that have unpredictable or variable workloads. D. AWS uses economies of scale to continually reduce prices: AWS operates at a large scale, and as a result, they can offer computing resources at lower prices than on-premises data centers. Additionally, AWS regularly reduces prices for its services as it gains more customers and achieves greater economies of scale.

AWS offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model that allows users to avoid upfront capital expenditures and pay only for the resources they use, reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to on-premises data centers. Additionally, AWS is designed to take advantage of economies of scale, enabling the company to continually reduce prices and further lower TCO for customers.

I think A,C D is also a valid response however, just my opinion that A and C have more merit and value to the customer as key word is 'continually' which made me think a bit...

A and D

C is wrong AWS don’t eliminate the need to have on premise staff
