In a cloud environment, which characteristic describes a service design that remains accessible with minimal downtime, even during hardware failures or planned maintenance events?
High availability focuses on keeping services continuously accessible by building in redundancy and fault-tolerant mechanisms. Rapid elasticity, metered utilization, and resource pooling are different cloud characteristics: rapid elasticity deals with automatically scaling resources up or down, metered utilization tracks usage for billing, and resource pooling shares infrastructure among tenants.
