Cevap

Trading capital expenses (CapEx) for variable operating expenses (OpEx)
The correct option is 'Trading capital expenses (CapEx) for variable operating expenses (OpEx)'. In traditional IT, organizations must invest heavily in physical data centers and servers (Capital Expenses) before using them. Cloud computing eliminates these upfront costs by allowing organizations to pay only for the resources they consume on a variable, pay-as-you-go basis (Operating Expenses).
