Exam CCSP topic 1 question 262 discussion

the biggest advantage to leasing space is control. the biggest disadvantage to leasing space is cost.

The question is not building v leasing, it is leasing v cloud. Cost would not be correct in a leasing v cloud scenario.

B: Control

The biggest advantage to leasing space in a data center versus procuring cloud services is the level of control and customization offered.

B. Control

Control seems to be the best choice.

Read the question fully. It's leasing IN a Datacentre. So the advantage is assuming this datacentre is private.

Control is right, because they want to control even thought it is expensive. and the controlling can be security or by law or policy, .....

I totally disagree with the explanation because the answer is "COST" Leasing gives you a COST advantage and not CONTROL. BUILDING A DATACENTER GIVES YOU CONTROL ADVANTAGE. BUILDING/PROCURING DATACENTER: When companies build their own data centers, they have complete control over nearly every aspect – from the overall facility designs down to the granular operational details like temperature and asset access. Firms that develop and operate their own data center space can also build out their resources in a phased and/or modular approach to manage capital deployment. In addition, since the space belongs to the service provider, they can utilize their assets however they please, whether this means leveraging resources for their own IT equipment or leasing space to other companies for a profit. LEASING A DATACENTER: On the other hand, leasing from a top-tier provider has its advantages as well. This approach offers a more consistent and predictable cost model and can help providers reduce capital expenditures when compared with building and operating their own facility. https://wiredre.com/data-center-decisions-building-vs-leasing-data-center-space/
