Try a question

A product team used to wait six weeks for new test servers. After moving to AWS it creates test environments in minutes and deletes them when done. Which cloud benefit does this show MOST clearly?

A. Economies of scale

B. Increased speed and agility

C. Stronger physical security

D. Higher storage durability

Show answer

Answer: B. Agility in the cloud means the time from idea to running resource drops from weeks to minutes. Cheap, fast experiments let teams try ideas and throw away what does not work.

Which statement BEST describes high availability in the AWS Cloud?

A. Making sure a workload can grow to any size whenever demand increases

B. Storing data so that it is never lost even after many years

C. Placing every resource in a single AZ to reduce network latency

D. Designing a workload so it keeps running when a component or AZ fails

Show answer

Answer: D. High availability means minimizing downtime. On AWS you remove single points of failure by spreading resources across multiple Availability Zones and letting load balancers or managed services fail over automatically.
