An architect is comparing the cost of a private cloud with consuming equivalent capacity from a public provider. A colleague's draft counts only the purchase price of the hardware on the private side. What else must the private-side figure include?

• A. The staff, facilities and periodic refresh needed to run it, plus spare headroom held for growth.
• B. The charges a public provider makes for moving data out of its environment, and for storing it.
• C. What the customer originally paid for the servers it bought several years ago and is now retiring.
• D. The discount the hardware supplier offers if the customer commits to a longer purchasing term.

What does a well-described customer use case contain? (Choose two.)

• A. What budget the customer has allocated for the work.
• B. The date by which the customer needs the solution in service.
• C. The offering the customer expects to be recommended.
• D. The conditions the solution has to work within.
• E. The outcome the customer is trying to accomplish.

A customer's deployed solution is three years old, meets today's requirements, and would need substantial addition to meet a new requirement. A replacement would meet both the current and new requirements but would retire equipment with useful life remaining. What should the architect establish before recommending either? (Choose two.)

• A. The value given up by standing down assets before the end of their usefulness.
• B. Which option the customer's finance team can approve, within the current budget period, without escalation.
• C. When the three-year-old equipment would be taken out of service if it were replaced.
• D. Whether the newly arrived need is expected to be lasting or temporary.
• E. Which option delivers the new requirement sooner.

What should the output of a solution review be?

• A. A decision on whether the solution should proceed to implementation as it currently stands.
• B. Findings that state where the solution does and does not meet the customer's requirements.
• C. A costed comparison against the alternatives that were not selected.
• D. A revised design incorporating and applying the reviewer's own preferred approach throughout.

An architect has agreed a solution with a customer and is sequencing the build. Several elements are ready to start. What should determine what is built first?

• A. Which elements cost the most.
• B. Which elements the customer's team is most eager to begin using.
• C. Which elements can be completed by the smallest number of people.
• D. Which elements other parts of the solution depend on.
