Question 510
An organization argues that cloud customers must buy the same maximum capacity as a private data center. Which conceptual explanation BEST supports the appropriate response?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Consumption-based capacity changes the need to commit to peak demand hardware. This principle explains why the suitable decision is: Explain variable cost economics and scaling capacity with actual usage. The confirming observation would be: A cost model scales hourly compute spend with active workload hours. A useful continuing practice is: Budget for storage and network charges even when compute scales down.
Incorrect Answers

The answer that meets the requirement is: Consumption-based capacity changes the need to commit to peak demand hardware.
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: Consumption-based capacity changes the need to commit to peak demand hardware.
Managed offerings can shift platform patching and infrastructure tasks from the customer. In this question, however, consumption-based capacity changes the need to commit to peak demand hardware. The answer that meets the requirement is: Consumption-based capacity changes the need to commit to peak demand hardware.
