What is the key characteristic of capacity on demand in cloud storage?

Storage resources can be increased or decreased dynamically based on current requirements.

Storage is always allocated at a fixed, pre-purchased level.

Storage is provided exclusively on physical hardware owned by the customer.

Storage is only available in predefined tiers that cannot be changed.

What is a primary advantage of block storage for database applications?

Global accessibility via HTTP APIs

Built-in hierarchical file system for easy organization

Automatic metadata management for each file

Low latency and high IOPS for transactional workloads

What is the main benefit of software-defined storage?

It guarantees higher performance than any hardware-based storage

It eliminates the need for any physical storage hardware

It is only available in private cloud environments

It abstracts storage hardware and provides flexibility and scalability through software

A company runs a web application that serves both static content (images, CSS, JavaScript) and dynamic content (user profiles, session data). The static content is stored in object storage, and the dynamic content is stored in a database on block storage. Users report that the static content loads slowly, but the dynamic content loads quickly. Which action should the company take to improve the performance of the static content?

Move the static content to block storage

Enable compression on the object storage

Increase the performance tier of the database block storage

Place a CDN in front of the object storage
