Flexibility in maturity? Sounds interesting, but I need to look into that!

A is also true, but I think C is the main difference.

Wait, are you sure about that? I thought both could be OTC.

Totally agree with C! Futures are standardized, unlike forwards.

C is correct! Forward contracts are indeed bilateral OTC.

I feel like option B might be misleading; while forward contracts can have flexible terms, I’m not entirely sure if that’s the main difference from futures.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think option A could be correct since forward contracts do fix rates for future transactions.

I remember that forward contracts are often customized and traded OTC, which might relate to option C about bilateral contracts.

I'm a bit unsure, but I think futures contracts are standardized and traded on exchanges, so maybe that makes forward contracts more flexible?

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know there are commands related to logical volumes, but I can't quite remember the specific one for creating a backup snapshot. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Okay, let's see here. A data center's physical infrastructure would include things like servers, racks, switches, and other networking equipment. I'm leaning towards C as the best answer, but I'll double-check the other options just to be sure.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully consider the trade-offs between the committed use discounts and the spikes in CPU usage.

I always mix up conservative and matching financing. In this case, I want to say matching because they have specific assets in mind, but it's confusing!

I think pay-as-you-go was mentioned in a similar practice question we did last week, so it might be relevant here too.
