AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner

Explanation

Global reach is the correct answer because:

• AWS Regions are physical locations around the world where AWS has data centers
• By deploying applications across multiple AWS Regions, companies can serve users in different geographic locations with lower latency and higher availability
• This provides global coverage and improves application performance for international users
• The other options don't directly relate to geographic distribution:
  • Pay-as-you-go pricing: Refers to the billing model where you only pay for what you use
  • Capacity forecasting: Involves predicting resource needs to avoid over-provisioning
  • Economies of scale: Refers to cost advantages that come from AWS's large-scale operations

Using AWS Regions specifically addresses the ability to serve users globally, making "Global reach" the most appropriate advantage in this scenario.
