CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) — Question 8

A small online retailer is looking for a solution to handle the high load on its servers during the holiday season. The retailer is not currently ready to move its IT operations completely to the cloud.
Which of the following will BEST fit these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Elasticity
• B. Scalability
• C. Bursting
• D. Self-service

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Bursting, as it allows the retailer to temporarily access additional cloud resources during peak times without a full migration. Elasticity and scalability are broader concepts related to resource management, while self-service does not specifically address the need for handling high loads during a specific season.
