A business is evaluating whether to migrate their existing applications to AWS. The applications depend extensively on a proprietary database that currently operates under an enterprise-wide, perpetual license agreement. The CTO is concerned about the licensing implications of running the proprietary database software in the cloud. To optimize licensing costs in the cloud, which strategy should the CTO consider?
Transition to a completely different open-source database to eliminate licensing costs
Adopt a Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model to utilize their existing perpetual license in the cloud
Purchase new, on-demand licenses from the cloud provider for the proprietary database software
Ignore licensing for the cloud migration as the existing enterprise agreement covers all environments
The Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model is the correct answer because it allows customers to apply their existing software licenses to the cloud infrastructure, which can potentially lead to significant cost savings, especially for enterprise agreements that are already in place. Licensing strategies are a notable part of cloud economics, and understanding the implications of these strategies for cost and compliance is critical for businesses moving to the cloud. The incorrect answers do not address the specific concern of leveraging an existing perpetual license in the cloud to optimize costs.
