An ecommerce company has migrated its IT infrastructure from an on-premises data center to the AWS Cloud.
Which cost is the company’s direct responsibility?
Cost of application software licenses
Cost of the hardware infrastructure on AWS
Cost of power for the AWS servers
Cost of physical security for the AWS data center
Explanations:
The company is responsible for the cost of application software licenses, as this is a direct expense related to the applications it uses.
The cost of hardware infrastructure on AWS is managed by AWS, so it is not the company’s direct responsibility.
The cost of power for AWS servers is also managed by AWS; thus, it is not a direct cost for the company.
Physical security for AWS data centers is the responsibility of AWS, not the company using the services.
I assess that the answer is:
Cost of application software licenses
