An online gaming company needs a cloud solution that will allow for more virtual resources to be deployed when tournaments are held. The number of users who access the service increases during tournaments. The company also needs the resources to return to baseline levels once the resources are not needed in order to reduce cost. Which of the following cloud concepts would provide the best solution?
Elasticity is the appropriate cloud concept for the company's needs. It allows for the automatic scaling of resources up or down according to demand, which is particularly useful for scenarios with fluctuating workloads like online gaming tournaments. When the demand increases, additional resources can be provisioned, and when the demand decreases, resources can be scaled back to save costs. This dynamic adjustment ensures that the company pays only for the resources they use, optimizing cost efficiency.
Elasticity: Automatically adjusts computing resources based on real-time demand, allowing for dynamic scaling up or down to optimize costs and performance. Hybrid: Combines different types of cloud environments (such as public and private clouds) to leverage the advantages of each, offering flexibility and scalability. Scalability: Refers to the ability of a system to handle increased workload by adding resources, either vertically (more powerful hardware) or horizontally (more machines or instances). Multitenancy: A single instance of software serves multiple customers or tenants, allowing them to share common infrastructure and resources
I think of scalabilit as 'planning for future events in the need of', and elasticity as being live and dynamic expanding and contracting in real time. IDK
Elasticity - horizontal resource addition - Temp solution Scalability - Vertical resource addition - long term solution.
