A. B. C. D.Answer - B and C.
The Physical infrastructure is a responsibility of AWS instead of the customer.
Hence it is not an advantage of moving to the AWS Cloud.
And AWS provides security mechanisms, but even the responsibility of security lies with the customer.
The two advantages of having infrastructure hosted on the AWS Cloud are:
B. Having the pay as you go model One of the most significant advantages of hosting infrastructure on AWS is the "pay as you go" model. This model allows businesses to pay only for the resources they consume, without any upfront costs or long-term commitments. This means businesses can quickly scale their infrastructure up or down based on their needs, without worrying about the cost implications.
C. No Upfront costs Another advantage of hosting infrastructure on AWS is the absence of upfront costs. In traditional on-premises infrastructure, businesses have to invest significant amounts of money upfront to purchase and install hardware and software. With AWS, businesses can avoid this capital expenditure and start using the infrastructure right away without worrying about the costs.
A. Having complete control over the physical infrastructure and D. Having no need to worry about security are not correct answers to this question.
Regarding A, while AWS does provide a high level of control over the infrastructure, it is not complete control over the physical infrastructure. AWS is responsible for maintaining the physical infrastructure and providing access to it, but customers are responsible for configuring, securing, and managing their own resources.
Regarding D, while AWS provides a high level of security features and services, security is a shared responsibility between AWS and the customer. AWS is responsible for securing the underlying infrastructure, while customers are responsible for securing their own data and applications running on AWS. Therefore, customers still need to worry about security and take appropriate measures to secure their applications and data.
