CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 350

Which of the following best describes metered utilization for cloud computing?

Answer options

• A. Cloud resources are billed to clients based on usage.
• B. Cloud resources are shared with other companies conducting similar business.
• C. Cloud resources are available at a fixed amount for a fixed price.
• D. Cloud resources are located in the on-site data center.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, accurately reflects that metered utilization means clients are charged according to how much they use the cloud resources. Options B, C, and D do not describe metered utilization; B refers to resource sharing, C implies a fixed pricing model, and D discusses on-site data centers, which are unrelated to metered billing.
