AWS, JavaScript, React - Deploy Web Apps on the Cloud - Characteristics of Cloud Computing (Part 2)

The video tutorial discusses key characteristics of cloud computing, focusing on rapid elasticity, on-demand self-service, and broad network access. Rapid elasticity allows cloud providers to scale resources quickly and automatically, meeting tenant demands in real-time. On-demand self-service enables users to manage resources through an online control panel without vendor intervention. Broad network access ensures cloud resources are accessible from various locations and devices, highlighting the evolution of network technologies that support cloud services.

What is a key advantage of rapid elasticity in cloud computing compared to traditional on-premises servers?

• Manual scaling of resources

• Fixed resource capacity

• Limited storage options

• Instantaneous resource provisioning

How do cloud providers typically meet the resource needs of tenants?

• By limiting resource availability

• Using sophisticated algorithms

• With fixed resource allocation

• Through manual intervention

What does on-demand self-service allow cloud customers to do?

• Access resources only during business hours

• Wait for vendor approval for resource allocation

• Request resources through customer support

• Self-administer resources via an online control panel

Which of the following is an example of a resource that can be provisioned on-demand in cloud computing?

• Manual network setup

• Virtual server configurations

• Fixed bandwidth

• Physical server

What does broad network access in cloud computing ensure?

• Access over a standard IP network from multiple locations

• High cost of network resources

• Limited device compatibility

• Access from a single location
