Module 10: The Cloud Journey Flashcards
Which pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework focuses on the ability of a workload to consistently and correctly perform its intended functions?
Operational Excellence
Performance Efficiency
Security
Reliability
Reliability.
The other response options are incorrect because:
The Operational Excellence pillar includes the ability to run workloads effectively, gain insights into their operations, and continuously improve supporting processes to deliver business value.
The Performance Efficiency pillar focuses on using computing resources efficiently to meet system requirements, and to maintain that efficiency as demand changes and technologies evolve.
The Security pillar includes protecting data, systems, and assets, and using cloud technologies to improve the security of your workloads.
Which process is an example of benefiting from massive economies of scale?
Deploying an application in multiple Regions around the world
Receiving lower pay-as-you-go prices as the result of AWS customers’ aggregated usage of services
Paying for compute time as you use it instead of investing upfront costs in data centers
Scaling your infrastructure capacity in and out to meet demand
Receiving lower pay-as-you-go prices as the result of AWS customers’ aggregated usage of services.
Because usage from hundreds of thousands of customers is aggregated in the cloud, providers such as AWS can achieve higher economies of scale. The economies of scale translate into lower pay-as-you-go prices.
The other response options are incorrect because:
Deploying an application in multiple Regions around the world: This process is an example of Go global in minutes.
Paying for compute time as you use it instead of investing upfront costs in data centers: This process is an example of Trade upfront expense for variable expense.
Scaling your infrastructure capacity in and out to meet demand: This process is an example of Stop guessing capacity.
Which pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework includes the ability to run workloads effectively and gain insights into their operations?
Cost Optimization
Operational Excellence
Performance Efficiency
Reliability
Operational Excellence.
The other response options are incorrect because:
The Cost Optimization pillar focuses on the ability to run systems to deliver business value at the lowest price point.
The Performance Efficiency pillar focuses on using computing resources efficiently to meet system requirements and to maintain that efficiency as demand changes and technologies evolve.
The Reliability pillar focuses on the ability of a workload to consistently and correctly perform its intended functions.
