Question 15

An e-commerce company hosts its website on a public cloud IaaS platform. The site experiences varying traffic throughout the year. The cloud provider automatically adds more virtual servers during peak traffic and removes them when demand drops. The company only pays for the resources used during each period. Which two cloud characteristics are demonstrated? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Rapid elasticity. Rapid elasticity is demonstrated because the cloud provider automatically scales virtual servers up or down in response to varying traffic, which is a key characteristic of cloud computing where resources can be provisioned and released elastically to match demand. Measured service is demonstrated because the company only pays for the resources used during each period, meaning the provider meters resource usage (e.g., CPU hours, memory, bandwidth) and bills accordingly, which is a core attribute of cloud services.

Answer

On-demand self-service

Answer

Resource pooling
