CLF-C02 Question 17
Select 2Your company is designing a new application on AWS and wants to ensure the architecture aligns with AWS's Well-Architected Framework. The application must handle variable workloads efficiently while minimizing costs. Which two pillars of the Well-Architected Framework should the team prioritize to meet these requirements?
- A
Cost Optimization
- B
Reliability
- C
Performance Efficiency
- D
Security
- E
Operational Excellence
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To meet the requirements of handling variable workloads efficiently while minimizing costs, the team should focus on Cost Optimization and Performance Efficiency. Cost Optimization ensures that the application uses resources in a cost-effective manner, while Performance Efficiency ensures that the architecture is designed to handle changing workloads dynamically and efficiently.
- A. Correct.
Cost Optimization focuses on reducing unnecessary expenses and achieving cost-efficiency, which is crucial for minimizing costs in variable workloads.
- B. Incorrect.
Reliability ensures the application can recover from failures but is not specifically tied to handling variable workloads or minimizing costs in this scenario.
- C. Correct.
Performance Efficiency involves optimizing resource use for variable workloads, making it essential for handling fluctuating demands efficiently.
- D. Incorrect.
Security is critical for protecting data and workloads but is not directly related to the cost or performance aspects in this scenario.
- E. Incorrect.
Operational Excellence focuses on operational processes and continuous improvement but is not the primary focus for cost and workload efficiency.
