350-401 · Question #221
What are two reasons a company would choose a cloud deployment over an on-prem deployment? (Choose Two)
The correct answer is B. Cloud costs adjust up or down depending on the amount of resources consumed. On- Prem costs D. Cloud resources scale automatically to an increase in demand. On-prem requires additional. Companies choose cloud deployments over on-prem primarily for the ability to adjust costs dynamically based on resource consumption and for the automatic scalability of resources to meet fluctuating demand.

Why each option
Companies choose cloud deployments over on-prem primarily for the ability to adjust costs dynamically based on resource consumption and for the automatic scalability of resources to meet fluctuating demand.
In a cloud environment, the cloud provider typically manages many underlying technical issues related to infrastructure and platform, whereas in on-premise environments, the company retains full control and responsibility for all technical issues.
Cloud computing typically operates on a pay-as-you-go model (operational expenditure), allowing costs to scale up or down directly with resource usage, offering greater financial flexibility compared to the significant upfront capital investments required for on-premise infrastructure.
Cloud deployments generally require significantly shorter implementation times due to on-demand resource provisioning, bypassing the lengthy procurement and capital expenditure processes often associated with on-premise infrastructure setup.
Cloud environments offer elastic scalability, enabling resources to automatically provision or de-provision in response to changes in demand, ensuring performance and availability without manual intervention or the need to over-provision, unlike on-prem solutions that require additional hardware acquisition and setup.
In a cloud environment, control over data access is based on a shared responsibility model between the company and the cloud provider, implying shared control rather than full control, which is often a point of debate when compared to a completely self-managed on-prem setup.
