Which of the following is improved by choosing cloud computing versus traditional IT infrastructure outsourcing?

Cloud computing allows organizations to transition from large upfront capital expenditures (CapEx) for hardware to a pay-as-you-go operational expenditure (OpEx) model, paying only for the resources consumed. This model improves resource spending by optimizing costs, reducing waste from over-provisioning, and aligning expenses directly with usage.

Cloud computing does not inherently improve legal requirements; it often introduces new ones, such as data residency or compliance obligations, which need careful management.

Employee morale is a human resources factor and is not directly or universally improved by choosing cloud computing; its impact can vary widely based on implementation and training.

Controllable response time can be complex in the cloud; while cloud services offer high availability and performance, the control over specific network paths and infrastructure performance is often delegated to the cloud provider, potentially making it less 'controllable' than a fully owned and managed on-premises setup.
