CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) — Question 40

A cloud engineer is in charge of deploying a platform in an IaaS public cloud. The application tracks the state using session cookies and there are no affinity restrictions. Which of the following will help the engineer reduce monthly expenses and allow the application to provide the service?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The pay-as-you-go model allows the cloud engineer to only pay for the resources they use, which can significantly lower costs for an application without strict resource requirements. In contrast, resource metering, reserved resources, and dedicated hosts may lead to higher fixed costs or underutilization, making them less optimal for reducing monthly expenses.
