elastic computing

Elastic computing refers to the ability of cloud-based systems to automatically adjust their computing resources—such as processing power and storage—based on current demand. When demand increases, the system "scales up" by allocating more resources to handle the workload. When demand decreases, it "scales down" to save costs and optimize performance. This flexibility allows organizations to efficiently manage varying workloads without manual intervention, ensuring applications run smoothly and cost-effectively. Elastic computing is a core feature of cloud services like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, making infrastructure more adaptable and responsive to business needs.
