A growing online retailer is looking to optimize their expenditure as they scale their e-commerce platform to accommodate fluctuating and increasing levels of customer traffic. Which benefit should they leverage to minimize the cost impact of scaling their computing infrastructure?
The expanded global reach that comes with a top cloud service provider’s infrastructure.
The purchasing of more on-demand capacity than necessary to prepare for sudden increases in demand.
The cost savings associated with economies of scale from their cloud service provider.
Adopting a diversification strategy to spread the resources across various cloud services.
The principle of economies of scale refers to the cost advantage that arises with increased output of a product. In the context of cloud computing, as the utilization of resources increases, the overall cost per unit of resource typically decreases, allowing for more cost-effective scaling. Leveraging economies of scale means that the retailer can scale their resources with the cloud provider, taking advantage of lower costs as their usage grows. The wrong answers miss the focus on cost optimization through scaling. Global reach is more about the geographic distribution, on-demand capacity discusses the method of provisioning, and diversification strategy is not directly related to cost savings of scaling operations.
