What benefit does an as a service deployment model provide? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• ALarger memory capacities
• BCost-savings related to over-provisioning
• CReduce the risk of under-provisioning
• DFaster performing disk storage
• EHigher throughput between hosts and storage

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  92% (22)
• E
  4% (1)

Explanation

"As a service" models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) let organizations consume resources elastically and pay only for what they use, directly addressing the classic provisioning dilemma. B is correct because traditional on-premises hardware forces you to buy peak capacity upfront - cloud consumption models eliminate that wasted spend on idle resources. C is correct because elastic scaling lets you add capacity on demand, so you're never stuck with too little during traffic spikes.

The distractors (A, D, E) describe hardware characteristics - memory size, disk speed, and network throughput - which are determined by the underlying infrastructure, not the service delivery model itself. A managed cloud service could use the exact same hardware specs as an on-premises setup.

Memory tip: Think of the provisioning spectrum as a Goldilocks problem - as-a-service fixes both ends: too much (over-provisioning = wasted money, option B) and too little (under-provisioning = outages, option C). The wrong answers all describe physical hardware metrics, which the model doesn't change.
