A new service has highly variable monthly demand.
The organization wants to avoid buying enough equipment for the maximum forecast before demand is known.
What is a benefit of pay-as-you-go pricing?
Pay-as-you-go lets an organization adjust consumption with demand and pay for the amount used instead of pre-purchasing maximum capacity.

Foundation review
Flexible start
Measuring demand before committing to maximum capacity reduces the risk of paying for unused resources.
Management remains necessary
Flexible billing still requires monitoring, budgets, and controls to keep usage intentional.
