Exam CV0-003 topic 1 question 231 discussion

Explanation: In an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) environment, a subscription-based licensing model is the best financial choice for scalability because: ✔ Predictable Costs → A fixed recurring cost makes budgeting easier. ✔ Pay-as-you-go Flexibility → Companies can scale up or down as needed. ✔ No Upfront Investment → No need to purchase perpetual licenses. ✔ Supports Elastic Workloads → Adjusts dynamically to demand.

B I agree

In IaaS, the cloud consumer is charged on a “pay-as-you-use” or “pay-as-you-grow” basis. This goes inline with Volume-based Licensing model, Volume-based licensing charges users based on the amount of resources they consume or the size of their deployment.

A. Subscription-based. Subscription-based licensing models typically allow organizations to pay for services on a recurring basis, often monthly or annually. This model is well-suited for IaaS environments where resources can be easily scaled up or down based on demand. It provides flexibility in managing costs since organizations can adjust their subscription levels according to their needs, enabling them to scale resources efficiently without incurring significant upfront costs. Additionally, subscription-based models often offer discounts for long-term commitments, further enhancing cost-effectiveness for organizations utilizing scalable IaaS environments.

Since its a Iaas type , the best bang for your buck is to scale as you need. D is the answer

A. Subscription A subscription licensing model is typically more flexible and scalable. It allows the company to pay for only what they use, making it easier to scale up or down based on demand. This can lead to cost savings, especially in an IaaS environment where resource needs can fluctuate.

Why license hardware? This makes no sense.

A socket based licensing allows exploiting the given resources to a max, with increasing use (time, users,...), but keep cost on same level.

Sorry for the flip-flopping. As you go through this, you learn more. My final answer is "A". Subscription-based licensing models means you pay for only what you use (cpu, mem, storage) and makes scaling up or down easy.

Need to change my answer. IaaS is billed based on cpu, memory and storage usage. Though I don't think "volume" is the best word, it fits the best. Please ignore the rental car analogy.

Remember, this is Infrastructure as a Service. You're renting their hardware. When you rent a car, you're charged for the car, not how many passengers their are. Having a socket-based licensing model would allow them to scale as needed.

Honestly I think this would be Volume

I guess the idea here is to not have the cost go up when usage goes up? is what they mean with this question?
