CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 49

A company is using an IaaS environment. Which of the following licensing models would BEST suit the organization from a financial perspective to implement scaling?

Answer options

• A. Subscription
• B. Volume-based
• C. Per user
• D. Socket-based

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The subscription model is ideal for IaaS environments as it allows organizations to pay for resources on a recurring basis, which can be adjusted based on usage. Volume-based, per user, and socket-based models may not provide the same flexibility and cost-effectiveness when scaling resources up or down according to demand.
