Explanation

A question asking for the three main components of AWS pricing.

  • 1three main components that make up the pricingThe three: compute, storage, and data transfer
  • 2estimating AWS costsEstimate based on usage
AIncorrect

Number of users, contract years, and number of support calls

AWS pay-as-you-go pricing is not determined by the number of users, contract years, or number of support calls.

It is wrong as a description of the main pricing components, so it is incorrect.

BIncorrect

Account creation date, login count, and password length

These are items unrelated to pricing.

They are not the main components of AWS pricing, so it is incorrect.

CIncorrect

Office floor area, number of employees, and electricity bill

These are your own company's expenses, not components of AWS pricing.

They are not the main components of AWS pricing, so it is incorrect.

DCorrect

Compute, storage, and data transfer (outbound)

This is correct. AWS costs are mainly made up of three components: compute (use of compute resources), storage (amount of data stored), and data transfer (especially outbound transfer to the internet). Cost estimation centers on the usage of these.

Key Takeaway

The three main components of AWS pricing are compute / storage / data transfer (outbound). Cost estimation centers on the usage of these three.
