What is the benefit of using fully managed services compared to deploying 3rd party software on EC2? Reduced operational overhead You have greater control and flexibility You don't need to back-up your data Improved security

Reduced operational overhead

A couple of the benefits that companies will realize immediately when using the AWS Cloud are increased _______ and a change from ___________ to variable operational expenditure.

agility, capital expenditure

With the AWS Cloud you can increase efficiency through the use of ___________ and reduce the need to manage infrastructure, allowing you to concentrate on managing applications instead.

automation

The public cloud is also highly _________ so companies can grow and shrink the applications as demand changes.

elastic

With the AWS cloud you get __________ billing and can turn off resources you are not using easily and not have to pay for them

fine-grained

With the AWS Cloud you can increase efficiency through the use of automation and reduce the need to ____________, allowing you to concentrate on managing applications instead.

manage infrastructure

Cloud computing is an ongoing ___________ expense.

operating

Fully managed services reduce your _____________ as AWS manage not just the infrastructure layer but the service layers above it.

operational overhead

The public cloud is offered under a purely ____________ model and allows companies to completely avoid CAPEX costs.

pay as you go

____________ and __________ clouds are essentially the same, though both could be managed by a third party and even could be delivered under an OPEX model by some vendors. However, they are typically more CAPEX heavy and the elasticity is limited.

private, on-premise

The _________ is offered under a purely pay as you go model (unless you choose to reserve), and allows companies to completely avoid CAPEX costs.

public cloud

AWS is responsible for __________ of the AWS Cloud as well as capacity planning and maintenance of the AWS infrastructure. This includes physical infrastructure such as data centers, servers, storage systems, and networking equipment.

security

The ability to quickly provision resources on AWS is a good example of _____ and _________

speed, agility

By using cloud computing, you can achieve a lower ________ than you can get on your own. Because usage from hundreds of thousands of customers is aggregated in the cloud, providers such as AWS can achieve higher economies of scale, which translates into lower pay as-you-go prices.

variable cost
