The concept, in one picture
Try a real AZ-900 question
A company moves its on-premises virtual machines to Azure on a pay-as-you-go subscription, paying only for what it consumes each month. Which expenditure model does this represent?
- ✓ Operational expenditure (OpEx)
- Capital expenditure (CapEx)
- Fixed expenditure
- Depreciated expenditure
Paying for cloud services as you use them is an ongoing operating cost, which is operational expenditure (OpEx). It has no large upfront purchase. Capital expenditure (CapEx) is buying assets outright — like on-premises servers — and depreciating them over time. Shifting from CapEx to OpEx is one of the headline financial benefits of moving to the cloud.
