CLF-C02 Practice Question 81: Global Reach
AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) · Test 9 · question 1 of 10
A startup based in Brazil suddenly gains many customers in Japan and Germany, who complain that its application feels slow. In a single afternoon, and with a few clicks, the startup deploys copies of the application in AWS Regions close to those customers, without building or leasing any new data centers. Which advantage of cloud computing does this demonstrate?
Show answer and explanation
Answer:
Go global in minutes is the advantage of easily deploying an application in multiple Regions around the world with just a few clicks. The result is lower latency and a better experience for customers at minimal cost. The startup's problem was distance from its new customers, and deploying to nearby Regions solves it without new physical infrastructure.
Option A, economies of scale, is about AWS aggregating usage from many customers to offer lower pay-as-you-go prices. It explains cost, not global reach. Option C, increase speed and agility, is about new resources being only a click away for developers, cutting the time to experiment and develop from weeks to minutes. It is related, but the stem is specifically about serving users in other parts of the world. Option D, stop guessing capacity, is about scaling up and down with demand instead of pre-buying capacity, which doesn't address where the application runs.
