Which AWS Cloud characteristic enables an organization to automatically add or remove compute capacity as workload demand changes, avoiding large upfront capital expenditures on physical hardware?
Elasticity describes the ability of cloud resources to be provisioned or released automatically in response to real-time demand. Because the organization pays only for what it actually uses, it avoids the need to purchase and maintain excess on-premises infrastructure. Scalability, although related, focuses on increasing capacity and does not necessarily imply the automatic reduction of resources. Global reach refers to AWS's worldwide Regions and Availability Zones, while the shared responsibility model defines how security and compliance duties are divided between AWS and the customer; neither directly addresses demand-based resource adjustment.
