Adopting a public cloud service reduces the need for substantial upfront capital expenditures on hardware purchases, as the cloud provider supplies and maintains the necessary infrastructure.

This shifts IT spending from capital expenses (CapEx) to operational expenses (OpEx), allowing organizations to pay only for the resources they use and scale them according to demand.

The other options are less accurate: moving to a public cloud generally means less control over hardware specifications and security protocols, as these are managed by the provider.

Physical proximity to data storage is not typically a cost advantage associated with public cloud services.
