AZ-900 · Question 6 · Domain 1.2: Benefits of Cloud Services

Which TWO scenarios demonstrate the cloud benefit of scalability? (Select TWO)

Answer options:

A.

Adding more RAM to an existing virtual machine.

B.

Deploying additional virtual machines to handle increased web traffic.

C.

Replicating data to a secondary region for disaster recovery.

D.

Using Azure Policy to restrict resource deployment.

E.

Paying only for the compute time used.

How to approach this question

Look for examples of increasing resources either vertically (size) or horizontally (quantity).

Full Answer

Scalability refers to the ability to adjust resources to meet demand. This can be done vertically (scaling up by adding more CPU/RAM to a single resource) or horizontally (scaling out by adding more instances of a resource).

Common mistakes

Confusing scalability with elasticity. Scalability is the *ability* to scale; elasticity is the *automated* scaling based on real-time demand.
