Which of the following concepts refers to a cloud customer paying only for the resources and offerings they use within a cloud environment, and only for the duration that they are consuming them?
Which of the following concepts refers to a cloud customer paying only for the resources and offerings they use within a cloud environment, and only for the duration that they are consuming them?
Measured service refers to cloud services where the customer pays only for the resources they actually use and the duration for which they consume them. This concept aligns with the pay-as-you-go model integral to cloud computing, where resource usage is monitored, controlled, and reported to provide transparency for both the provider and consumer. This ensures better resource management and cost control.
NIST says "Measured service".
measured service is the correct answer, it is about the "proper" term used in the way to define the benefits of cloud. Always remember it's a "measured service in a metered way"
Both A & D are correct
Excuse me I meant both " B and D"
Correct answer is D. As per NIST document publish by Ajani. Measured service. Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability1 at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing, bandwidth, and active user accounts). Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported, providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service.

Guessing we stick with the NIST 800-145 definitions. https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Legacy/SP/nistspecialpublication800-145.pdf
The correct answer is D. Metered service. In a metered service model, a cloud customer pays only for the resources and offerings they use within a cloud environment, and only for the duration that they are consuming them. This is also known as a pay-as-you-go or pay-per-use model. Consumable, measured, and billable services are not specific terms related to this type of pricing model.
A measured service allows for better resource management and cost control, as it aligns with the pay-as-you-go approach that is a key characteristic of cloud computing services.
Measure service is the correct answer.
In the Study guide, both measured and metered service are equivalent.
B: NIST Special Publication 800-145 says "Measured service. Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability1 at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing, bandwidth, and active user accounts). Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported, providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service." CCSP CBK also states under the UNDERSTAND CLOUD COMPUTING CONCEPTS, Key Cloud Computing Characteristics: "Measured Service Metering service usage allows a CSP to charge for the resources used. In a private cloud, this can allow an organization to charge each department based on their usage of the cloud. For a public cloud, it allows each customer to pay for the resources used or consumed. With a measured service, everyone pays their share of the costs."
both B or D are correct
