A company wants to ensure that its critical web application is available at all times, without any significant downtime. Which cloud characteristic should they prioritize when selecting a cloud service provider?
Metered utilization
High availability
Shared resources
Rapid elasticity
High availability is the correct answer because it ensures that computing resources remain accessible and operational with minimal or no noticeable downtime. By prioritizing high availability, the company selects a cloud provider that builds redundancy and automated failover into its infrastructure, keeping the web application online even during hardware failures or maintenance. Other characteristics-shared resources, metered utilization, and rapid elasticity-offer cost or scalability benefits but do not specifically guarantee constant uptime, so they are incorrect in this context.
