Episode 83: Elasticity and Scalability — Growing on Demand
This episode explores elasticity and scalability, two defining characteristics of cloud computing. Elasticity refers to the ability to automatically expand or contract resources based on demand, while scalability describes the capacity to grow workloads efficiently over time. These concepts are emphasized on the exam because they demonstrate how cloud services adapt to variable workloads.
Real-world examples include an e-commerce site automatically scaling up servers during peak shopping periods or scaling down when traffic decreases. Troubleshooting considerations involve misconfigured scaling policies, such as thresholds that trigger too early or too late, leading to wasted resources or performance issues. By mastering elasticity and scalability, you’ll be prepared to recognize these terms in exam questions and apply them when evaluating or designing cloud environments.
