AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 794

A company wants to migrate to the AWS Cloud. The company needs the ability to acquire resources when the resources are necessary. The company also needs the ability to release those resources when the resources are no longer necessary.

Which architecture concept of the AWS Cloud meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Elasticity
• B. Availability
• C. Reliability
• D. Durability

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Elasticity refers to the ability to scale computing resources up or down dynamically to match changing demand, ensuring you only pay for what you use. In contrast, availability, reliability, and durability focus on system uptime, consistent performance, and data preservation, rather than the dynamic provisioning and deprovisioning of infrastructure.
