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.
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.
Upfront expenses include data centers, physical servers, and other resources that you would need to invest in before using computing resources.
Instead of investing heavily in data centers and servers before you know how you’re going to use them, you can pay only when you consume computing resources.
The correct answer is C. There are no upfront cost commitments.
In the traditional on-premises storage pricing model, upfront costs are often significant, as hardware, software, and infrastructure must be purchased and maintained. In contrast, AWS Cloud pricing operates on a pay-as-you-go model, where customers only pay for the resources they use. This model allows customers to avoid upfront cost commitments and to easily scale resources up or down as their needs change. However, AWS resources do incur costs, there are infrastructure operating costs associated with running workloads in the cloud, and customers may still incur software licensing costs for certain applications.
C. There are no upfront cost commitments.
The AWS Cloud pricing model differs from traditional on-premises storage pricing in that it is based on a pay-as-you-go model with no upfront cost commitments. This means that customers only pay for the resources they consume and can easily scale up or down as needed. There are no minimum fees or long-term commitments, and customers can use AWS resources on demand.
Option A is incorrect because AWS resources do incur costs based on usage, although customers only pay for the resources they use.
Option B is incorrect because while there may be no infrastructure operating costs associated with using the cloud, customers are still responsible for the cost of the resources they consume.
Option D is also incorrect because while some AWS services may include software licensing costs, many services do not. The pricing for each service is transparent and clearly listed on the AWS website.
According to ChatGPT:
The correct answer is C. There are no upfront cost commitments.
The AWS Cloud pricing model differs from the traditional on-premises storage pricing model in that there are no upfront cost commitments for AWS resources. With on-premises storage, organizations must make significant upfront investments in hardware, software licenses, and other infrastructure components. In contrast, AWS offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model, where users pay only for the resources they consume, without any upfront commitments or long-term contracts. This allows organizations to scale their resources up or down as needed, without the need for significant upfront investments.
Option A is incorrect because AWS resources do incur costs, which are billed based on usage. Option B is incorrect because there are infrastructure operating costs associated with using AWS resources, such as data transfer costs and storage costs. Option D is incorrect because there may be software licensing costs associated with using AWS resources, depending on the specific services and software used.
