A company uses a cloud storage service where it pays per gigabyte stored per month. How is this cost classified?

Operating expenditure, but only if the storage is used for more than one year

Fixed cost, because the rate per gigabyte is constant

Variable cost, because the total bill changes with the amount of data stored

Capital expenditure, because storage is a physical asset

Why is it important for a cloud service contract to include data ownership and exit clauses?

To specify the exact color of the data center racks

To allow the provider to use the customer's data for marketing purposes

To guarantee that the provider will never change its pricing

To ensure the customer can retrieve their data and leave the provider if needed

A cloud administrator has been managing the company's cloud environment for two years. The provider introduces a new pricing model that could reduce costs. How should the administrator stay informed about such changes?

Participate in ongoing professional development, such as webinars and certification courses

Switch to a different cloud provider to avoid learning new models

Rely on the initial training received two years ago

Wait for the provider to notify the company of changes

What does Bring Your Own License (BYOL) allow a customer to do when using a cloud provider's infrastructure?

Transfer licenses from one cloud provider to another without restriction

Purchase software licenses directly from the cloud provider at a discount

Use open-source software without paying any licensing fees

Use software licenses they already own on the cloud provider's infrastructure

A company is migrating to the cloud and wants to minimize the risk of staff making costly errors during the transition. What is the most effective way to address this?

Limit the number of staff who have access to the cloud environment

Outsource the entire migration to a third-party without involving internal staff
