Question

an organization has hosted a website using the azure web service. the demand for the website fluctuates throughout the year, depending on off - peak and peak season as well as sales campaigns. the organization wants to leverage the benefit of azure cloud services from a cost management perspective. which aspect is the organization looking to leverage?
a fault tolerance
b disaster recovery
c scaling
d elasticity

Explanation:

• Option A: Fault tolerance is about system resilience to failures, not cost - related demand fluctuations.
• Option B: Disaster recovery focuses on restoring systems after disasters, not handling variable demand for cost management.
• Option C: Scaling generally refers to statically adjusting resources, while the problem is about dynamic demand changes.
• Option D: Elasticity in cloud computing allows resources to automatically adjust (scale up/down) with demand, which helps in cost management as the organization pays only for the resources used during peak/off - peak times.

Answer:

D. Elasticity
