   A company currently runs its own servers in a data center it owns. The IT team must manually order, install, and configure new hardware when more capacity is needed, a process that takes weeks. They are evaluating a move to a cloud provider where they can provision additional virtual servers in minutes via a web portal and only pay for what they use. Which fundamental difference between cloud computing and traditional on-premises computing does this scenario best illustrate?

   • AOn-demand self-service and rapid elasticity versus manual, time-consuming hardware provisioning
   • BMulti-tenancy versus single-tenancy
   • CMeasured service versus fixed cost
   • DBroad network access versus local network access
