How does the AWS Cloud pricing model differ from the traditional on-premises storage pricing model?
AWS resources do not incur costs
There are no infrastructure operating costs
There are no upfront cost commitments
There are no software licensing costs
Explanations:
AWS resources do incur costs based on usage, such as storage, compute, and data transfer fees. Unlike traditional on-premises systems, AWS pricing is pay-as-you-go.
While AWS reduces some infrastructure costs (like maintenance), it does not eliminate all operating costs. Costs like data transfer, storage, and support still apply.
AWS offers a pay-as-you-go model with no upfront costs, allowing users to scale resources up or down without large initial investments in hardware or infrastructure.
While AWS eliminates the need for traditional software licenses for on-premises applications, some AWS services may still require licensing fees, especially for certain software.
