ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
A retail company is migrating its e-commerce platform to a public cloud. Management insists that computing capacity must automatically expand during holiday sales peaks and contract afterward, and that the monthly invoice should reflect only the exact resources consumed. According to the NIST definition of cloud computing, which pair of essential characteristics best satisfies both of these business requirements?
Automatic expansion and contraction of resources are covered by the rapid elasticity characteristic: capacity can be provisioned and released quickly, often automatically, to match workload fluctuations. Paying only for the exact amount of resources actually used relies on measured service, in which the cloud provider monitors, controls, and reports resource usage so that it can be billed on a metered basis. The other listed pairs each omit one of these two critical capabilities, so they cannot satisfy both management requirements.
