Which aspect of cloud computing pertains to cloud customers only paying for the resources and services they actually use?

Answer options

• A. Metered service
• B. Measured billing
• C. Metered billing
• D. Measured service

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Metered service, as it specifically refers to the billing model where customers are charged based on their actual usage of cloud resources. The other options, while related, do not accurately capture the essence of charging customers based on usage in the same way that metered service does.
