I believe B is correct, because in AWS you pay for stroage, compute, etc. You don't pay for infra ops directly. On the other hand you can make commitments with saving plans or reserved instances.

It's a nasty question but I think this answer highlights the key word "storage" .. yes, you can get an EC2 reserved instance and pay it all upfront. But not for Storage. I think answer B is a distractor and attempting to infer it's about CAPEX.

But the free tier for storage is very limited. Does that even count? 12 MONTHS FREE, 5 GB in the S3 Standard storage class, 20,000 Get Requests, 2,000 Put, Copy, Post, or List Requests?

C. No upfront cost as you don't have to acquire hardware. I disagree with B being correct because you indirectly pay infra ops for the compute services you use albeit through AWS.

It is definitely not B. There is no CapEx, but we still have OpEx, hopefully reduced.. So the best answer here is C, as depends on which plan you choose you might not have any upfront cost.

Selected Answer: C
C. There are no upfront cost commitments The AWS Cloud pricing model differs from traditional on-premises storage pricing primarily in terms of upfront cost commitments. With traditional on-premises storage, organizations typically need to make significant upfront investments in hardware, software licenses, and infrastructure operating costs. In contrast, AWS Cloud pricing is based on a pay-as-you-go model, where customers only pay for the resources they consume on an hourly or usage-based basis, without any upfront commitments. This allows for greater flexibility and cost efficiency, as customers can scale resources up or down based on their needs without incurring long-term financial commitments. While AWS resources do incur costs, there are no upfront cost commitments, and customers only pay for what they use.

At best, B is up to interpretation since operating costs are still being paid by the user based on computing, memory, storage, etc. C is a concrete situation. If you're On-Premise with your operations, you're literally paying for all the hardware and licensing that comes with it. With AWS, the typical method for small businesses and individuals is On-Demand, which means you're paying as you go at the end of each monthly cycle. If you're purchasing RI, you can do partial payments for a year (or more), pay at the end of the year, or even if you decide to pay it all upfront to get a bit of a discount, you're paying for a year's worth instead of buying an entire infrastructure for your business. This isn't exclusive to AWS. Same applies for GCP and other cloud providers.

I believe it's B, since for exsample the reserved instance you can make an upfront payment.

It is an option if you want to pay upfront for a reversed instance to lower your total cost, you can decide to go with no upfront for reserved instance.

I'm choosing option C, and I'll explain why. The question is about pricing, especially in the context of on-premises solutions. Therefore, the answer that best describes this situation is C - No upfront cost commitments. With cloud computing, you don't need to invest in a data center to start enjoying the benefits of a cloud environment. You only pay for the resources you use, exactly what you need, and nothing more or less.

Both B & C are correct options but Option B feels the right answer for me. Because you need to manage hard disk, etc. when you need to store data on premises but you don't need to manage the infra over cloud.

https://aws.amazon.com/pricing/?aws-products-pricing AWS offers you a pay-as-you-go approach for pricing for the vast majority of our cloud services. With AWS you pay only for the individual services you need, for as long as you use them, and without requiring long-term contracts or complex licensing.
