While reviewing monthly invoices from a public IaaS provider, an organization notices that costs rise and fall exactly with the number of CPU cycles and amount of memory its virtual machines actually consume, as logged by the provider's metering tools. Which NIST-defined essential characteristic of cloud computing is most clearly demonstrated by this scenario?
NIST lists five essential characteristics of cloud computing. The scenario highlights automated usage tracking that directly determines billing. That behavior is defined by NIST as measured service, where resource use is monitored, controlled, and reported to provide transparency for both provider and consumer. Rapid elasticity concerns the speed of scaling resources, on-demand self-service covers a tenant's ability to provision resources without human interaction, and resource pooling refers to multi-tenant sharing of a common pool of computing assets. Because the focus here is metering that links consumption to cost, measured service is the correct choice.
