A city’s climate action plan asks whether migrating workloads to AWS can support environmental goals highlighted in Cloud Adoption Framework materials. Which benefit theme should the Cloud Practitioner cite?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Think of shared cloud capacity like a city bus versus everyone driving a half-empty van — better utilization can mean less waste. CAF calls out ESG performance, including environmental angles, as a benefit theme. The climate plan is asking a fair CAF question, not an off-topic one.
Full Explanation
Improved ESG performance—including environmental sustainability outcomes called out among CAF benefits—is what the Cloud Practitioner should cite for a climate action plan asking whether migrating to AWS can support environmental goals in CAF materials.
Claiming ESG is unrelated to cloud and must never appear in business cases contradicts CAF benefit framing. Only increasing on-premises generator runtime is not an environmental improvement strategy. Claiming migration always worsens emissions with no possible efficiency gains ignores utilization and facilities offload benefits.
Exam caveat: Improved ESG is a CAF benefit theme; quantify carefully and keep it honest. Operational check: estimate facilities energy retired with migrated workloads, improve cloud utilization, and report ESG-relevant metrics in the climate action update without overclaiming.
Municipal teams should keep a one-page decision record linking this Cloud Practitioner concept to resident outcomes, revisit it after major traffic or compliance changes, and ensure runbooks still match the chosen design.
