Describe the benefits of High Availability and Scalability in the cloud

High availability focuses on ensuring maximum availability, regardless of disruptions or events that may occur

True

Azure is a cloud environment with no availability guarantees

False

Service-level agreements (SLAs) are part of Azure's guarantee of high availability

True

Scalability refers to the ability to adjust resources to meet demand.

True

In a consumption-based model, you only pay for what you use

True

Horizontal scaling is focused on increasing or decreasing the capabilities of resources

False

Vertical scaling is adding or subtracting the number of resources.

False

With vertical scaling, you can add more CPUs or RAM to a virtual machine

True

With horizontal scaling, you can add additional virtual machines or containers

True

Vertical scaling is more suitable for handling sudden increases in demand

False

Horizontal scaling is more suitable for adjusting the capabilities of resources

True

If demand drops off, you cannot reduce your resources in a consumption-based model

False

The benefit of scalability is that you can reduce your costs if demand drops off.

True

High availability ensures that your resources will never experience disruptions or events

False

SLAs are a contractual agreement between the customer and the cloud provide

True

Azure's SLAs guarantee 100% uptime for all services

False

Scaling refers to the ability to adjust resources to meet demand and is not specific to cloud computing

False

With vertical scaling, you can only add more resources, not subtract them

False

With horizontal scaling, you can only subtract resources, not add them

False

Scaling is an important consideration when building or deploying a cloud application.
