A medium-sized enterprise is planning to transition its data center activities to a cloud provider to optimize costs. Which approach would be the MOST cost-efficient while allowing for future scalability?
Duplicate the in-house server setup with the cloud provider to ensure comprehensive service availability.
Implement an extensive physical security strategy within the provider's infrastructure similar to the current data center setup.
Adopt scalable computing services, provisioning resources to align with real-time demand and scalability needs.
Acquire excess computational capacity in advance to prepare for potential high demand and growth scenarios.
Transitioning to a cloud provider, such as AWS, often enables cost savings as the customer benefits from the cloud's economies of scale and avoids heavy upfront capex for infrastructure. By only provisioning resources that match the current demand with the flexibility to scale, a company utilizes the fundamental cloud principle of elasticity, which allows for cost optimization without sacrificing the ability to meet future demand. In contrast, over-provisioning with reserved instances or mimicking on-premises security measures in the cloud could incur unnecessary costs and may not fully leverage the cloud's cost-efficiency features.
