A growing online retailer is looking to optimize its expenditure as it scales its e-commerce platform to accommodate fluctuating and increasing levels of customer traffic. Which benefit should the company leverage to minimize the cost impact of scaling its computing infrastructure?
Adopting a diversification strategy to spread the resources across various cloud services.
The expanded global reach that comes with a top cloud service provider's infrastructure.
The cost savings associated with economies of scale from their cloud service provider.
Purchasing more on-demand capacity than necessary to prepare for sudden increases in demand.
The principle of economies of scale refers to the cost advantage that arises with increased output. In cloud computing, as resource utilization increases, the overall cost per unit of resource typically decreases, allowing for more cost-effective scaling. By leveraging the cloud provider's economies of scale, the retailer can scale its resources while benefiting from lower prices as usage grows. The other options do not directly target cost optimization through scaling: global reach focuses on geographic distribution, purchasing excess on-demand capacity increases rather than reduces cost, and diversification across services is not chiefly a cost-saving measure.
