CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 306

A user needs to set up a cloud environment that can scale up quickly based on resource utilization. Which of the following does the user need to configure?

Answer options

• A. Hybrid cloud
• B. Metered service
• C. Rapid elasticity
• D. Resource pooling

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Rapid elasticity, as it allows the cloud environment to quickly scale resources up or down based on current demand. Options A, B, and D do not directly address the need for quick scaling; Hybrid cloud refers to a combination of private and public clouds, Metered service involves billing based on usage, and Resource pooling pertains to shared resources among multiple clients.
