ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
During a seasonal sales promotion, a retailer's SaaS vendor notes that the underlying cloud infrastructure will automatically spin up additional virtual machines to meet the temporary surge in customer traffic and then terminate the extra capacity when demand drops, all without human intervention and with billing based only on the exact amount of processing used. According to the NIST definition of cloud computing, which essential characteristic of cloud services is the vendor primarily highlighting?
The scenario focuses on the cloud's ability to rapidly and automatically scale resources outward during periods of high demand and contract them when demand subsides, giving the impression of unlimited capacity while charging only for what is consumed. In the NIST cloud computing definition, this capability is called rapid elasticity. While on-demand self-service allows customers to provision resources themselves, rapid elasticity specifically addresses the automatic, seamless expansion and reduction of capacity. Broad network access refers to ubiquitous connectivity, and measured service pertains to metering resource usage for billing and optimization. Therefore, rapid elasticity is the best fit for the behavior described.
