CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) — Question 60

Which of the following strategies allows an organization to plan for cloud expenditures in a way that most closely aligns with the capital expenditure model?

Answer options

• A. Simplifying contract requirements
• B. Implementing consolidated billing
• C. Considering a BYOL policy
• D. Using reserved cloud instances

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Using reserved cloud instances allows organizations to commit to a specific amount of resources for a longer period, thus enabling predictable budgeting similar to capital expenditures. The other options do not provide the same level of financial predictability and commitment needed to align closely with a capital expenditure model.
