AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 705

A company needs to maximize its ability to adapt to changing business needs without overcommitting its budget.

Which strategy should the company implement to meet these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Pay-as-you-go pricing allows organizations to easily scale resources up or down based on current demand, preventing them from overcommitting their budget to unused capacity. In contrast, Savings Plans require a commitment to a consistent amount of usage, which limits flexibility, while optimizing operations and volume discounts do not directly address the need to avoid upfront budget commitments for unpredictable workloads.
