Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 160

An organization has recently completed a migration from on-premises to Google Cloud.

How has cost management been affected?

Answer options

• A. Costs will primarily shift from CapEx to OpEx.
• B. Costs will primarily shift from OpEx to CapEx.
• C. Cost management will stay the same, but the total cost of ownership (TCO) will be lower.
• D. Cost management will stay the same, but the total cost of ownership (TCO) will be higher.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because migrating to Google Cloud typically shifts expenses from capital expenditures (CapEx), which involve large upfront costs, to operational expenditures (OpEx), which are ongoing costs. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they misrepresent the nature of costs associated with cloud migration and the expected changes in total cost of ownership.
