A company is presenting the business case for moving its applications to AWS to its board next month.
The board wants to hear only accurate claims about how the AWS Cloud works.
Which TWO statements about the AWS Cloud are accurate? (Choose two.)
Choose two answers.
AA. AWS becomes responsible for securing the company's data and who can access it.
BB. Applications can be deployed in AWS Regions around the world within minutes.
CC. Customers must sign a contract of at least three years before they can use AWS services.
DD. Moving to AWS removes the need for the company to employ any IT staff.
EE. New servers and databases can be provisioned in minutes instead of weeks.
Show the answer and explanation
Answers: B, E
A. Wrong: Incorrect. Under the shared responsibility model, the customer stays responsible for its own data, including encryption options and access permissions. AWS secures the underlying infrastructure.
C. Wrong: Incorrect. AWS offers pay-as-you-go pricing with no long-term commitment required to start. Some discounted options involve a term, but they are optional.
D. Wrong: Incorrect. AWS removes the work of running data centers, but the company still needs staff to design, secure, operate and manage its workloads under the shared responsibility model.
Two statements are accurate: AWS lets companies deploy applications in Regions around the world within minutes, and it lets them provision new resources in minutes instead of weeks. The customer keeps responsibility for its own data and much of its IT work, and no multi-year contract is required to start.
