Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Moving to the cloud lets businesses shift from a capital-heavy spending model (CAPEX) to a more adaptable operational expense model (OPEX), which is a key advantage of cloud and utility computing. The cloud provides scalability and flexible costs, not predictable fixed costs each month. The cloud doesn't eliminate variable costs, instead variable costs are a benefit of using the cloud since you only pay for the resources you utilize. The cloud can actually reduce your initial setup costs, whereas on-premise environments have large upfront setup costs.
