Cloud Resource Management and Scaling

Define vertical scaling (scaling up) and horizontal scaling (scaling out) using diagrams to illustrate each method.

Compare vertical and horizontal scaling in a tabular format, covering their respective advantages, limitations, and suitable scenarios.

Define and compare static vs. dynamic resource provisioning, providing examples for each.

Explain the role of a load balancer in distributing traffic to enable horizontal scaling and high availability.

Explain the purpose of resource scheduling in a cloud environment to efficiently assign tasks to resources.

Define resource monitoring and list key performance metrics to track (e.g., CPU utilization, memory, network throughput).

Explain common resource optimization techniques for improving performance and reducing costs, such as rightsizing and removing idle resources.
