A company running its own on-premises data center must purchase extra servers months in advance to handle seasonal traffic spikes, leaving equipment under-utilized the rest of the year. Which intrinsic characteristic of public cloud computing most directly removes this limitation by letting the company match resources to real-time demand?
Complete control over the physical infrastructure stack
Public cloud platforms provide elasticity-the capability to scale resources up or down automatically in response to actual workload demand. Because resources expand during peak periods and contract when demand falls, the company no longer needs to predict peak usage far in advance or maintain idle hardware during normal periods. High availability, lower capital expenditure, and full physical-stack control are important considerations, but they do not by themselves solve the specific issue of over- or under-provisioning for variable traffic.
