CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) — Question 37

A cloud resource increases its capacity based on seasonal activity. Which of the following best describes this type of cloud instance and the scaling approach?

Answer options

• A. Fixed; triggered by load
• B. Permanent; triggered manually
• C. Elastic; triggered by trend
• D. Ephemeral; triggered by event

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as an elastic cloud instance can automatically scale up or down based on demand trends, such as seasonal activity. Options A and D describe different scaling characteristics that do not specifically apply to seasonal adjustments, while B suggests a manual scaling approach, which does not align with the automatic nature of elastic instances.
