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.

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.

Both the consumption-based and CapEx models offer the same level of flexibility, scalability, and cost management, making them equally suitable for unpredictable workloads.

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.

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.
