  2. B
    Pay-as-you-go billing
  3. C
    On-Demand instance pricing
  4. D
    Shared responsibility licensing

Answer

Bring Your Own License (BYOL)
The Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model in AWS Marketplace enables customers to deploy third-party software using their existing licenses, ensuring they only pay for the underlying AWS infrastructure costs.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the customer's requirement.
The customer wants to use their existing prepaid software license on AWS without being charged again for the license itself.
This determines which licensing model fits their financial constraint.
2
Evaluate the AWS Marketplace licensing options.
Bring Your Own License (BYOL) is specifically designed to allow customers to leverage existing licenses on AWS infrastructure, whereas pay-as-you-go billing introduces new charges.
This selects the appropriate mechanism to satisfy the requirement.

Key Concept

AWS Marketplace BYOL (Bring Your Own License) model allows customers to migrate existing software licenses to AWS.
