A company is planning to quickly scale its infrastructure to meet the varying demands of its new web application. Which cloud characteristic is most essential to ensure the infrastructure can dynamically expand or contract resources as needed?
Rapid Elasticity is a key characteristic of cloud computing, allowing resources to be quickly scaled up or down to accommodate the changing needs of an application or workload. This ability ensures that the company only uses and pays for the resources required at any given time, providing both flexibility and cost-efficiency. High Availability ensures uptime and reliability, but doesn't directly address scalability. Metered Utilization provides billing based on use, not the dynamic scaling of resources. File Synchronization is important for maintaining current data across multiple devices and is not concerned with infrastructure scalability.
