A growing company wants to ensure that its cloud computing costs correlate closely with its actual usage to remain budget-efficient as its demand fluctuates throughout the year. Which cloud characteristic should the company prioritize when selecting a cloud service provider?
Metered utilization is the correct answer because it allows the company to pay only for the resources it consumes. This characteristic aligns with the company's goal to match costs with actual usage and also provides the flexibility to adjust to changing demands. Rapid elasticity, while related, mainly addresses the speed and agility with which resources can be scaled rather than the cost alignment aspect. High availability is important for maintaining uptime and accessibility but does not directly impact cost alignment as metered usage does. File synchronization ensures consistency of files across systems but does not affect the billing model or cost structure based on actual usage.
