Question
Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements.
Your company is planning to migrate all their virtual machines to an Azure pay-as-you-go subscription. The virtual machines are currently hosted on the Hyper-V hosts in a data center.
You are required make sure that the intended Azure solution uses the correct expenditure model.
Solution: You should recommend the use of the elastic expenditure model.
Does the solution meet the goal?
- A. Yes
- B. No Correct
Explanation
The solution does not meet the goal. Cloud costs are classified as either capital expenditure (CapEx), an up-front spend on physical infrastructure, or operational expenditure (OpEx), paying for services as they are consumed. An Azure pay-as-you-go subscription is an operational expenditure model. 'Elastic' describes the ability to scale resources, not an expenditure model, so recommending an elastic expenditure model is incorrect.
