Microsoft Azure Fundamentals — Question 31

You have 1,000 virtual machines hosted on the Hyper-V hosts in a data center.
You plan to migrate all the virtual machines to an Azure pay-as-you-go subscription.
You need to identify which expenditure model to use for the planned Azure solution.
Which expenditure model should you identify?

Answer options

• A. operational
• B. elastic
• C. capital
• D. scalable

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The operational expenditure model is the most suitable for a pay-as-you-go Azure subscription, as it allows for costs to be incurred as you use resources. In contrast, the capital expenditure model refers to upfront investments in hardware or software, which is not applicable in this scenario. Elastic and scalable do not refer to expenditure models but rather to the flexibility of resource allocation.
