Describe, differentiate, and apply IT industry trends, standard architectures, technologies, and cloud delivery models.

Under what circumstances would a customer select a traditional solution rather than a cloud solution?

  • A The customer prefers to buy and then depreciate the infrastructure, software, and licenses over time.
  • B The customer wants to pay for storage space as it is utilized.
  • C The customer is risk averse and needs to provision as they grow.
  • D The customer prefers to implement a mission critical environment that can be maintained easily from anywhere.
Explanation

Traditional infrastructure is purchased and owned as a capital investment, so its hardware, software, and licenses can be depreciated over time. Cloud pricing instead trades fixed, upfront infrastructure expenses for variable, pay-for-consumption costs.
