Question 760
An organization argues that cloud customers must buy the same maximum capacity as a private data center. Which precaution would MOST reduce the chance of the problem returning?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Budget for storage and network charges even when compute scales down. This continuing control fits because Consumption-based capacity changes the need to commit to peak demand hardware. The associated appropriate response is: Explain variable cost economics and scaling capacity with actual usage. An observable check is: A cost model scales hourly compute spend with active workload hours.
Incorrect Answers
Cloud cost benefits depend on sizing, demand, architecture, licenses and ongoing governance. In this question, however, consumption-based capacity changes the need to commit to peak demand hardware. The answer that meets the requirement is: Budget for storage and network charges even when compute scales down.
Overprovisioned capacity creates unnecessary usage charges without adding business value. In this question, however, consumption-based capacity changes the need to commit to peak demand hardware. The answer that meets the requirement is: Budget for storage and network charges even when compute scales down.
Large shared cloud platforms can spread infrastructure investments across many customers. In this question, however, consumption-based capacity changes the need to commit to peak demand hardware. The answer that meets the requirement is: Budget for storage and network charges even when compute scales down.
