• Describe the benefits of high availability and scalability in the cloud
High availability: Depending on the service-level agreement (SLA) that you choose, your cloud-based apps can provide a continuous user experience with no apparent downtime, even when things go wrong.
Scalability: Apps in the cloud can scale vertically and horizontally:
Scale vertically to increase compute capacity by adding RAM or CPUs to a virtual machine.
Scaling horizontally increases compute capacity by adding instances of resources, such as adding VMs to the configuration
