Microsoft Azure Fundamentals AZ-900 Practice Question
A company needs flexibility in its cloud spending to align with fluctuating workloads without any upfront commitments. Under Azure's pricing options, which model would best satisfy these requirements?
The consumption-based (pay-as-you-go) pricing model charges only for the resources actually used, with no upfront commitment or long-term contracts. This enables costs to scale in direct proportion to workload demand, giving businesses the desired spending flexibility. Other options, such as Reserved Instance pricing, require one- or three-year commitments, while fixed subscriptions or perpetual licenses lock costs regardless of actual usage, making them less suitable for highly variable workloads.
