AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 544

Which feature of the AWS Cloud gives users the ability to pay based on current needs rather than forecasted needs?

Answer options

• A. AWS Budgets
• B. Pay-as-you-go pricing
• C. Volume discounts
• D. Savings Plans

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Pay-as-you-go pricing allows AWS customers to pay only for the resources they actively consume, removing the necessity to predict and provision for future capacity. AWS Budgets is a forecasting and monitoring tool, Volume discounts apply to bulk usage, and Savings Plans require a committed spend level over a period of time.
