An online retailer's on-premises servers sit idle most of the year but run out of capacity during seasonal peaks. By migrating to Google Cloud, which cloud characteristic chiefly removes the need to purchase excess hardware by automatically increasing or decreasing resources in response to demand changes?
Elasticity refers to the cloud's ability to automatically add or release resources so that capacity closely tracks real-time demand. This prevents overprovisioning for peak periods and under-utilizing hardware during quiet times, reducing wasted spend and improving total cost of ownership. Scalability focuses on growing capacity (not necessarily shrinking it automatically), reliability concerns availability of services, and shifting from CapEx to OpEx describes a financial model rather than an on-demand technical capability.
