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 meant by rapid elasticity in cloud computing?

How do cloud services differ from traditional on-premises servers in terms of resource capacity?

Discuss the significance of the technical definition of rapid elasticity provided by NIST.

Explain the concept of on-demand self-service in cloud computing.

What does broad network access mean in the context of cloud computing?
