Question #1361

A company is transitioning from on-premises infrastructure to the AWS Cloud. Which of the following are benefits of this transition? (Choose two.)

A

Automatic adherence to all industry compliance requirements

B

Enhanced scalability and operational flexibility

C

Faster deployment of applications across multiple regions

D

Removal of all infrastructure maintenance costs

E

Guaranteed fault tolerance for every storage solution

Explanation

B (Enhanced scalability and operational flexibility) is correct because AWS allows dynamic resource scaling, adapting to workload demands efficiently. C (Faster deployment across regions) is correct due to AWS's global infrastructure enabling quick replication.

A is incorrect: AWS provides compliance frameworks, but customers must ensure their own compliance. D is incorrect: While AWS reduces maintenance, costs like OS/application management remain. E is incorrect: Fault tolerance requires proper architecture, not automatic guarantees. Key points: AWS offers scalability, global reach, shared responsibility model (compliance/maintenance), and tools for fault tolerance—not automatic.

Answer

The correct answer is: BC
