Went YNY - Got it today (Scored 940)

NO , NO , YES Cloud computing offers OpEx not CapEx. On-premise deployment offers more custom options than cloud computing

NNY Box 1 = NO Cloud computing does not offer any CaPex. It is cloud based hence it offers Opex only. It offers lower expenditure for sure, but not of the Capx type (missleading question) Box 2 = NO Cloud computing provides a ton of configuration options not available in on-premisses deplyments Box 3 = Yes Clound computing offers a levl of scalability and flexibility when the business requires change

YNY is the answer. Refer Copilot for 2: Cloud computing offers a wide range of configuration options, but there are differences compared to on-premises setups. The cloud excels in scalability, flexibility, and managed services, while on-premises gives you granular control over hardware and specific configurations. Each has its strengths, but they aren't identical.

Sales questions are usually always what makes Microsoft looks good so second one can be Y for that reason, meaning it does not offer less

Yes-No-Yes. Cloud has less configuration options in PaaS and Saas, for example.

Second is No Cloud computing and on-premises deployments are two different deployment models with different characteristics. While there may be some similarities in terms of configuration options, they are not identical. In on-premises deployments, organizations typically have full control over their hardware and software configurations, which allows for a greater degree of customization and flexibility. However, this also requires significant upfront investments in hardware and infrastructure, as well as ongoing maintenance and upgrades. Cloud computing, on the other hand, provides a more flexible, scalable and cost-effective alternative to on-premises deployments. Cloud providers offer a wide range of configuration options, but they may not always be identical to those available in on-premises environments. For example, some hardware and software configurations that are possible in on-premises deployments may not be available in the cloud, while cloud providers may offer additional configuration options that are not available on-premises.

I'll go with Yes | Yes | Yes Same configuration or more of that of onpremises deployment.

I think it should be Y-Y-Y. Could computing offfer same CONFIGURATIONS as on-prem.

answer is correct Yes/Yes/YES because second one is asked same configuration yes cloud offer the same configuration.

Y?Y. Depends what they mean by configuration options. So ? for 2nd part.

YNY - thinking of on-premise legacy solutions, some can't be replicated into the cloud (ie: only runs on non-compliant older Operating Systems, etc)

answer is correct! Explanation: Capital expenditures (CapEx) are funds used by a company to acquire, upgrade, and maintain physical assets such as property, plants, buildings, technology, or equipment. These costs are lower in cloud computing than in on-premises deployments. Cloud computing in general provides the same configuration options as on-premises deployments. If you compare a specific product such as Exchange Online vs. Exchange Server or Azure SQL vs. SQL Server this might not be true. But, you could install Exchange Server on a virtual machine in the cloud to get the same configuration options. Cloud computing allows to increase or decrease IT resources as needed to meet changing demand. Scalability is one of the hallmarks of the cloud and the primary driver of its exploding popularity with businesses.

YNY is the answer.

Cloud offers CapEx relief, meaning there is no large up front cash outlay to build a datacenter, buy equipment that your depreciate over 4 to 5 years. Easy way to remember CapEx = Cash, lots of cash up front. OpEx is essentially pay monthly bill, Easy way to remember this is 'as you OPERATE you pay'
