A startup is developing a social media application that expects varying levels of traffic throughout the day, with potential viral spikes. The team wants to ensure their application can handle these unpredictable loads without any service interruptions or performance degradation. Which AWS Cloud characteristic should they leverage to fulfill this requirement?
Global reach through a single regional deployment
Increased durability of stored data
Fixed allocation of compute and storage resources
High availability and elasticity of cloud resources
Elasticity is the core characteristic that allows the system to automatically scale resources up to handle viral spikes and scale down to save costs during quiet periods. High availability complements this by ensuring the application is resilient and remains operational even if underlying components fail, thus preventing service interruptions. Together, they provide a robust solution for unpredictable traffic. Durability relates to long-term data protection, not real-time traffic handling. Fixed resource allocation is the opposite of the required flexibility. Global reach addresses user latency through geographic distribution, which is different from handling load variations.
