QuestionQ3

Foundation of distributed cloud

Which of the following actions does resource elasticity in the cloud enable?

Choose two
  • A Relocate VMs between data centers when a fault is detected.
  • B Deploy VMs across data centers when a new slice is needed.
  • C Add resources to existing VMs when traffic is high.
  • D Add VMs when traffic is high.
Explanation

Cloud elasticity adjusts available capacity as demand changes. Vertical scaling adds compute capacity to an existing resource, while horizontal scaling adds instances such as VMs; both can address high traffic. Microsoft’s Azure Well-Architected Framework defines vertical scaling as adding compute capacity to existing resources and horizontal scaling as adding instances of a resource.
