How does the AWS Cloud pricing model differ from the traditional on-premises storage pricing model?

A) AWS resources do not incur costs.
B) There are no infrastructure operating costs.
C) There are no upfront cost commitments.
D) There are no software licensing costs.


Solution

Correct answer: C) There are no upfront cost commitments.
The key difference between AWS cloud pricing and traditional on-premises storage is that AWS follows a pay-as-you-go model.

Of the above options, the closest answer is: C. There are no upfront cost commitments

Let's break down the other options:

A. AWS resources do not incur costs: This is not true. You do pay for the AWS resources you use.
B. There are no infrastructure operating costs: While you don't manage the physical infrastructure itself, there are still costs associated with running those servers in AWS data centers.
D. There are no software licensing costs: There may or may not be software licensing costs depending on the specific service you use.
While AWS eliminates the need for upfront investment in hardware, you still pay for the resources you consume. This can be advantageous for businesses that need to scale their storage requirements up or down quickly.
