A team hosts an online store that experiences sudden demand spikes with unpredictable user activity. They want to align expenses with resources used, while still ensuring continuous availability. Which plan is the best choice?
A plan that provides advanced hardware control on physically separated servers
A plan that includes an option for multi-year commitments for discounted rates
A plan that charges based on actual usage, reducing extended commitments
A plan that provides capacity at risk of revocation
A usage-based plan adjusts expenses to match resource consumption, offering flexibility during sudden spikes. Multi-year discounts are more cost-effective when demand is predictable but can limit agility. Advanced hardware control can help with compliance or configuration needs, though it can lead to higher expenses during periods of low usage. Capacity at risk of revocation can disrupt operations at critical moments, which is not ideal for continuous availability.
