Exam CLO-002 topic 1 question 12 discussion

Should be A) Elasticity

The correct answer is C. Bursting. Cloud Bursting is a strategy where a system is primarily run on-premises, but during peak demand (such as the holiday season), the overflow traffic is “burst” to the cloud. This allows the retailer to handle high loads without needing to permanently move all IT operations to the cloud. Bursting is ideal for situations where the workload is usually steady but occasionally experiences significant spikes, such as during holidays. • Elasticity and Scalability refer to general cloud concepts that allow resources to be dynamically adjusted to meet demand, but they imply more permanent cloud integration. • Self-service refers to the ability for users to provision resources on-demand, which is not specifically about handling peak loads. Bursting directly addresses the requirement of handling high load during specific periods without a full commitment to the cloud.

I think it is bursting: "Cloud bursting is a configuration method that uses cloud computing resources whenever on-premises infrastructure reaches peak capacity. When organizations run out of computing resources in their internal data center, they burst the extra workload to external third-party cloud services. Cloud bursting is a convenient and cost-effective way to to support workloads with varying demand patterns and seasonal spikes in demand."
