In regards to cloud forecasting there is no one forecasting method that fits all situations.(True/False)

Answer' True

Explanation: Every organization and even cloud provider has different requirements that are to be met or

are met. Some organizations my need a granular VM pricing whereas other may not. Some cloud

providers support things diffferently than other and therefor require the organization to consider the best

model they need. Unfortunately there is no one forecasting method that fits all situations.

Cloud spend is variable which is inherently difficult to predict. Specifically engineers can start workloads

at any time typically without having to go through a procurement process.

Forecasting cloud-provider consumption as product or service consumption requires specific data and

tooling to be consistently available. Billing and reporting from cloud providers is difficult to understand

and explain to traditional finance teams.

Workloads need to be clearly defined whether through tagging or account structures so that cost can be

attributed back to them and their owners. Please review this page before the exam.
