Correct Answer:

Box 1: Yes -

Traditionally, IT expenses have been considered a Capital Expenditure (CapEx). Today, with the move to the cloud and the pay-as-you-go model, organizations have the ability to stretch their budgets and are shifting their IT CapEx costs to Operating Expenditures (OpEx) instead. This flexibility, in accounting terms, is now an option due to the ג€as a Serviceג€ model of purchasing software, cloud storage and other IT related resources.

Box 2: No -

Two virtual machines using the same size could have different disk configurations. Therefore, the monthly costs could be different.

Box 3: Yes -

When an Azure virtual machine is stopped, you don’t pay for the virtual machine. However, you do still pay for the storage costs associated to the virtual machine.

The most common storage costs are for the disks attached to the virtual machines. There are also other storage costs associated with a virtual machine such as storage for diagnostic data and virtual machine backups.

这个题目在上次考试的时候被考到了。

重点是几个概念，包括成本是如何控制。

Azure 就想告诉所有人，使用云服务的成本是可以控制的。

但实际上，这个并不准确，现在很多使用云服务的公司成本都已经快失控了。
