What is the key difference between scalability and elasticity in cloud applications?

Scalability is the ability to handle increased load by adding resources, while elasticity is the ability to automatically scale resources up or down based on demand.

Scalability is only for vertical scaling, while elasticity is only for horizontal scaling.

Scalability is a feature of on-premises systems, while elasticity is a feature of cloud systems.

Scalability refers to the ability to handle increased load, while elasticity refers to the ability to handle decreased load.

What is the primary goal of continuous integration (CI) in automated deployment?
