Cloud Architecture Flashcards
One of the most important AWS best-practices to follow is the cloud architecture principle of elasticity. How does this principle improve your architecture’s design?
By automatically scaling your on-premises resources based on changes in demand.
By automatically scaling your AWS resources using an Elastic Load Balancer.
By reducing interdependencies between application components wherever possible.
By automatically provisioning the required AWS resources based on changes in demand.
By automatically provisioning the required AWS resources based on changes in demand.
