A company is transitioning its on-premises infrastructure to Microsoft Azure to leverage cloud benefits like scalability, cost efficiency, and operational flexibility. The IT team is assessing Azure's pricing models to find the most appropriate option for their needs, especially focusing on a solution that balances cost-effectiveness with the ability to scale dynamically to handle unpredictable demand spikes. They are comparing the consumption-based (pay-as-you-go) model with the traditional capital expenditure (CapEx) model, considering factors such as initial investment, scalability, cost predictability, and operational efficiency. Given these considerations, which of the following statements accurately highlight the advantages of the consumption-based model over the traditional CapEx model? (Choose two options)
A
The consumption-based model allows businesses to minimize upfront costs by paying only for the resources they use, reducing the risk of over-provisioning and enabling dynamic scaling to accommodate demand fluctuations.
B
The consumption-based model requires a significant initial capital investment, similar to the CapEx model, and lacks scalability or cost-saving advantages, making it unsuitable for variable workloads.
C
Both the consumption-based and CapEx models offer the same level of flexibility, scalability, and cost management, making them equally suitable for unpredictable workloads.
D
While the consumption-based model provides superior scalability and flexibility, its pay-as-you-go nature leads to higher operational costs over time, complicating long-term financial planning.
E
The consumption-based model not only avoids the need for large upfront investments but also improves operational efficiency through automated scaling and accurate billing, making it ideal for fluctuating workloads.
