  2. B
    Converting variable operational costs into fixed capital expenditures
  3. C
    Trading system elasticity for increased capital investments
  4. D
    Shifting from a decoupled architecture to a monolithic billing model

Cevap

Replacing upfront capital expenditures with variable operational expenses
Moving to the cloud allows the business to replace capital expenditures (CapEx) for physical servers with variable operational expenses (OpEx) paid monthly.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the financial model of the on-premises setup described in the scenario.
Purchasing physical hardware upfront is classified as a capital expenditure (CapEx).
Capital expenditures are upfront investments in physical assets.
2
Identify the financial model of the AWS Cloud setup described in the scenario.
Paying a monthly bill based on actual consumption is classified as a variable operational expense (OpEx).
Operational expenses are day-to-day costs of running a business.
3
Combine these definitions to identify the correct transition.
The transition is from CapEx (upfront hardware cost) to OpEx (monthly pay-as-you-go cost).
This represents replacing upfront capital expenditures with variable operational expenses.
