In the video we saw of Werner Vogels (chief technology officer at Amazon) discussing cloud computing, he emphasized that it provides the ability to quickly increase the resources available for your website and also quickly reduce the amount of resources you are using. This describes which of the following characteristics of cloud computing?

Elasticity

Explanation:

Elasticity -

Elasticity is one of the characteristics of the cloud computing.

Elasticity makes the cloud computing different from the older grid computing.

It refers to the factor by which the system is capable to adapt to the changes in the workload by provisioning and de - provisioning the resources automatically, is referred to as elasticity.

Faster the provision and de - provision may lead to storage or customers applications.

Hence, from the given scenario of the question,

The correct answer is elasticity.
