A company is considering transitioning its data processing to a cloud service in order to handle periodic spikes in demand efficiently. Which cloud characteristic should primarily guide them to ensure their new infrastructure can automatically scale resources up or down based on the workload requirements?
Rapid elasticity is the correct characteristic because it highlights the ability of the cloud service to quickly allocate or de-allocate resources to match demand without human intervention. High availability ensures services remain accessible even in the event of failures but does not specifically address scaling. Metered utilization is related to billing based on resource usage, not scaling. Shared resources describe the cloud model of multi-tenancy but do not determine automatic scaling capabilities.
