Question 1
Domain 1: Cloud ConceptsHow does AWS shorten the time to provision IT resources?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
AWS shortens provisioning time by letting users “programmatically provision existing resources,” so infrastructure can be created through code instead of manual setup. This supports AWS’s “agility” and “rapid global deployment,” which let applications and services be deployed “within minutes.”
Why each option is right or wrong
A. It supplies an online IT ticketing platform for resource requests.
B. It supports automatic code validation services.
C. It provides the ability to programmatically provision existing resources.
AWS’s provisioning speed comes from its API-driven control plane: services such as EC2, S3, and RDS can be created, configured, and torn down through programmatic calls rather than manual hardware procurement or console-by-console setup. In the AWS Shared Responsibility Model and service documentation, resource creation is exposed through APIs/SDKs/CLI, which is why infrastructure can be instantiated in minutes instead of the days or weeks associated with traditional IT procurement and installation.
D. It automates the resource request process from a company's IT vendor list.
