An organization runs memory-intensive processes on a single server environment. They cannot add additional nodes for distribution. Which method best fits a vertical approach?
Increase system resources on the current machine
Install extra servers and distribute traffic
Use container-based processes across multiple environments
Set up triggers to power on additional parallel machines
Upgrading the hardware in the existing single-server setup is the most direct method for raising capacity without introducing new machines. Other choices involve adding more nodes or distributing tasks among multiple instances, which shifts toward a horizontal or distributed approach. Using ephemeral container instances or parallel servers are valuable methods, but they do not preserve the requirement to remain on one machine.
