Which two types of licensing options are available in Splunk Cloud?

In Splunk Cloud, the licensing options are primarily focused around how data is ingested and utilized within the platform, which distinguishes the Ingestion-based and Infrastructure-based licensing types.

Ingestion-based licensing is determined by the volume of data that is ingested into Splunk over a specified time period, often measured in gigabytes per day. This model reflects the costs aligned with the actual use of the platform in terms of data processing.

Infrastructure-based licensing, on the other hand, is typically related to the resources that are allocated to services and user accounts, factoring in the size and requirements of the infrastructure needed to support the Splunk deployment.

This structure enables organizations to choose a licensing strategy that best aligns with their operational needs and budget, ensuring they only pay for the resources they utilize. Understanding these licensing types helps organizations carefully evaluate their usage and costs as they plan their Splunk implementations.

The other alternatives offer options that do not accurately reflect the primary licensing structures of Splunk Cloud.
