A company is using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to scale its Amazon EC2 instances.
Which benefit of the AWS Cloud does this example illustrate?

Answer options

• A. High availability
• B. Elasticity
• C. Reliability
• D. Global reach

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Elasticity, as it refers to the ability to dynamically adjust resources based on demand. A is incorrect because high availability focuses on minimizing downtime, C is not correct since reliability pertains to consistent performance, and D is wrong as global reach relates to AWS's worldwide infrastructure, not scaling capabilities.
