Microsoft Azure Fundamentals AZ-900 Practice Question

In the consumption-based pricing model, users are charged based on the actual amount of cloud resources they consume, with no upfront costs or termination fees. This model provides flexibility and cost efficiency, as you pay for what you use. Fixed fee or flat rate subscription models (as in options B and D) involve paying a set amount for resources, independent of actual usage, which may not be cost-effective for fluctuating workloads. Option C describes a reserved pricing model that offers discounts for long-term commitments, which is different from consumption-based pricing.
