An international logistics organization is migrating its customer-facing booking application to Microsoft Azure to handle seasonal spikes in traffic. However, due to strict national regulations, the database containing historical customer shipping records must remain on physical servers located in the company's local corporate headquarters. The on-premises database will be connected to the Azure web application using a secure network connection.
Which cloud model and expense type combination represents this deployment?
- A hybrid cloud model where the Azure web application represents operational expenditure (OpEx) and the on-premises database represents capital expenditure (CapEx).Cevap
- BA public cloud model where all components are shifted to a consumption-based operational expenditure (OpEx) model because the Azure web application is connected to the database.
- CA private cloud model where all infrastructure costs are classified as capital expenditure (CapEx) because the database controls the application data flow.
- DA Software as a Service (SaaS) model where both the database and the web application are managed entirely by Microsoft as an operational expenditure (OpEx).
Cevap
A hybrid cloud model where the Azure web application represents operational expenditure (OpEx) and the on-premises database represents capital expenditure (CapEx).
The deployment combines public cloud services (Microsoft Azure) with private infrastructure (on-premises database servers), which defines a hybrid cloud model. Furthermore, Azure services use a consumption-based pricing model, which falls under operational expenditure (OpEx), while the owned and managed on-premises physical hardware represents capital expenditure (CapEx).
