What is consumption based pricing?
Consumption based pricing (pay as you go) is a billing model where you only pay for the exact amount of resources you need.
Example
If you used a lot of resources for that particular period you pay for the goods according to what you got, and if you got less you also pay for it.
An everyday example
1-paying of school fess
2-buying of groceries
3-payment for electricity bills
Why cloud uses consumption based pricing.
- No upfront cost
- Cost scale with your usage
- It is very flexible
