A retail company is considering moving its inventory management system to the cloud. Which of the following is a primary advantage of moving to AWS that will benefit this company's requirement for scaling its operations during peak holiday seasons?
Sustainability, to reduce the company's carbon footprint.
High availability, to ensure the system is always accessible.
Elasticity, to scale resources based on seasonal demand.
Speed of deployment, to quickly launch new services.
Elasticity is a fundamental characteristic of the AWS Cloud that allows systems to dynamically allocate and deallocate resources based on demand. For a retail company, this means they can scale their inventory management system up during the high traffic of holiday seasons and scale down during slower periods, ensuring they only pay for the computing resources they need. This directly applies the AWS Cloud value proposition of flexibility and cost-effectiveness. High availability, while important, focuses on uptime rather than rapid scaling. Speed of deployment accelerates launches but does not automatically adjust capacity. Sustainability addresses environmental impact, not the immediate need to handle fluctuating demand.
