Question 260
An organization argues that cloud customers must buy the same maximum capacity as a private data center. Which result provides the strongest evidence that the goal is met?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A cost model scales hourly compute spend with active workload hours. This result is directly relevant because Consumption-based capacity changes the need to commit to peak demand hardware. The underlying AWS decision is: Explain variable cost economics and scaling capacity with actual usage. The ongoing safeguard is: Budget for storage and network charges even when compute scales down.
Incorrect Answers
Some attached or reserved resources remain billable even when instance compute is stopped. In this question, however, consumption-based capacity changes the need to commit to peak demand hardware. The answer that meets the requirement is: A cost model scales hourly compute spend with active workload hours.
BYOL and included licensing have different eligibility, usage and financial assumptions. In this question, however, consumption-based capacity changes the need to commit to peak demand hardware. The answer that meets the requirement is: A cost model scales hourly compute spend with active workload hours.
Variable consumption lets the company limit exposure while evaluating uncertain demand. In this question, however, consumption-based capacity changes the need to commit to peak demand hardware. The answer that meets the requirement is: A cost model scales hourly compute spend with active workload hours.
