A company is planning to migrate its on-premises infrastructure to Azure to leverage cloud benefits such as scalability, cost-efficiency, and operational flexibility. The company's IT team is evaluating different cloud service models and pricing options to ensure the migration aligns with their financial and operational goals. Specifically, they are comparing the consumption-based (pay-as-you-go) model with the traditional capital expenditure (CapEx) model. Considering the company's objectives to minimize upfront costs and adapt resources dynamically to fluctuating demands, which of the following statements accurately describe the advantages of the consumption-based model in Azure? (Choose two.)
A
The consumption-based model eliminates the need for any upfront investment in infrastructure, allowing businesses to allocate their budget more efficiently towards innovation and growth.
B
With the consumption-based model, companies are required to predict their resource usage accurately months in advance to avoid unexpected costs, similar to traditional budgeting processes.
C
Azure's consumption-based model provides automatic scaling of resources in response to application demand, ensuring optimal performance without manual intervention.
D
The consumption-based model locks businesses into fixed resource capacities, making it difficult to adjust to changing business needs without incurring penalties.
E
Businesses can achieve cost savings by automatically scaling down underutilized resources during off-peak hours, thanks to the consumption-based model's flexibility.
