Question 460
An AWS planning meeting highlights two independent requirements. Finding 1: A startup expects an unpredictable launch date and wants to avoid predicting its exact server count a year in advance. Finding 2: A product team wants to test a new feature, but its private lab provides only one shared environment and long reservation queues. Which two-part response addresses both findings in order?
Explanation
Correct Answer
For finding 1: Elastic allocation removes the requirement to commit to a fixed fleet before demand is known. For finding 2: Cloud self-service can accelerate experiments without making governance or cost control optional. Both actions are required.
Incorrect Answers
For finding 2: Cloud self-service can accelerate experiments without making governance or cost control optional. That action addresses a different situation: A business describes cloud adoption as eliminating every remaining operational task for its employees.
The actions are reversed. The correct order is (1) Start with measured cloud capacity and adjust resource allocation as demand becomes observable. (2) Create short-lived self-service test resources under controlled AWS account and budget guardrails.
For finding 1: Elastic allocation removes the requirement to commit to a fixed fleet before demand is known. That action addresses a different situation: A publishing company wants employees to access the same approved service in multiple countries while retaining central operational standards.
