CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 154

A company would like to take advantage of the cost savings of cloud computing by only paying for the resources used. Which of the following will BEST address this need?

Answer options

• A. Shared resources
• B. Rapid elasticity
• C. Metered utilization
• D. High availability

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C. Metered utilization, directly relates to billing based on actual resource usage, which aligns perfectly with the company's goal of cost savings. Options A, B, and D do not specifically address the need for cost-efficient payment based on usage, making them less suitable for this scenario.
