CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 442

A network engineer configures an application server so that it automatically adjusts resource allocation as demand changes. This server will host a new application and demand is not predictable. Which of the following concepts does this scenario demonstrate?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Elasticity, as it refers to the capability of a system to automatically adjust resources in response to demand fluctuations. Scalability (A) relates to the ability to increase capacity, but does not inherently imply automatic adjustment. Software as a service (B) involves delivering applications over the internet, and Hybrid cloud (C) refers to a mix of on-premises and cloud resources, neither of which focus on the automatic adjustment of resources.
