AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 275

A company wants the ability to accommodate peak application usage without purchasing equipment for on-premises data centers.

Which AWS Cloud benefit is the company seeking?

Answer options

• A. High availability
• B. Security
• C. Reliability
• D. Elasticity

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Elasticity allows an organization to dynamically scale its resources up or down to match demand, eliminating the need to over-provision or buy physical hardware for peak loads. High availability and reliability focus on system uptime and fault tolerance rather than scaling to demand, while security deals with safeguarding data and infrastructure.
