What is the advantage of the consumption-based model in cloud computing?
What is the advantage of the consumption-based model in cloud computing?
- You pay for the IT resources you use and don't have to estimate future resource needs.
- You don't have to worry about getting the resource needs just right. (correct)
- You pay for the extra capacity that the cloud provider has on hand.
- You only pay for the physical infrastructure of the datacenter.

Study Notes
CapEx vs OpEx
- Capital Expenditure (CapEx) involves upfront costs for hardware, software, and infrastructure, treated as assets on a company's balance sheet
- Operational Expenditure (OpEx) involves ongoing expenses for services, maintenance, and support, treated as expenses on the income statement
Cloud Computing Basics
- Cloud computing is a model for delivering IT services over the internet, on-demand and pay-per-use
- It enables on-demand access to a shared pool of computing resources, such as servers, storage, databases, software, and applications
Consumption-Based Model
- The consumption-based model in cloud computing allows users to pay only for the resources they use, reducing upfront costs and scaling up or down as needed
- Advantage: provides flexibility, scalability, and cost savings
- Benefit: eliminates the need for upfront capital expenditures and reduces the need for ongoing maintenance and support
Cloud Computing vs On-Premise Infrastructure
- Cloud computing differs from maintaining CPUs and storage in your own datacenter, as it provides a scalable, on-demand, and pay-per-use model
- Cloud computing reduces the need for upfront capital expenditures and ongoing maintenance and support costs associated with traditional on-premise infrastructure
