A startup wants to launch a website that might get very popular suddenly. Why is cloud a better choice than on-premises for this?
ACloud can automatically scale resources up or down based on traffic
BOn-premises servers handle sudden traffic spikes better
CCloud requires buying extra servers in advance
DOn-premises servers are easier to access from anywhere
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand traffic scaling needs

    A sudden increase in website visitors needs quick resource scaling to avoid slowdowns or crashes.
  2. Step 2: Compare cloud and on-premises scaling

    Cloud can automatically adjust resources instantly; on-premises needs manual hardware changes which are slow and costly.
  3. Step 3: Eliminate incorrect options

    Options B, C, and D are incorrect because on-premises is less flexible, cloud does not require buying extra servers upfront, and cloud access is easier.
  4. Final Answer:

    Cloud can automatically scale resources up or down based on traffic -> Option A
  5. Quick Check:

    Cloud auto-scaling fits sudden traffic [OK]
Quick Trick: Cloud auto-scales for traffic spikes [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Believing on-premises handles spikes better
  • Thinking cloud needs pre-bought servers
  • Confusing access ease between cloud and on-premises
