CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 117

Which of the following concepts would be used by an online retailer to quickly add more web servers during peak sales times?

Answer options

• A. Community cloud
• B. Rapid elasticity
• C. High availability
• D. Metered service

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, Rapid elasticity, allows cloud services to automatically scale resources up or down based on demand, which is essential for handling peak times. Community cloud refers to shared resources among a specific community, high availability focuses on system uptime, and metered service pertains to billing based on usage rather than resource scalability.
