Cloud Computing

On-demand delivery of compute, storage, databases, and other IT resources over the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing.

Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of IT resources — compute, storage, databases, networking, and more — over the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing. AWS operates the physical infrastructure while customers consume only the capacity they need, replacing large upfront capital expenses with variable operational costs. The CLF-C02 exam tests the six advantages: trade capital expense for variable expense, benefit from massive economies of scale, stop guessing capacity, increase speed and agility, stop spending on running data centers, and go global in minutes. Provisioning that once took weeks now happens in minutes.
