A monolithic application requires more memory and CPU to handle its growing workload. The application cannot be easily split into smaller services. Which scaling approach is most appropriate?

Horizontal scaling by adding more servers

Vertical scaling by increasing the resources of the existing server

Horizontal scaling by adding more storage

Vertical scaling by adding more network bandwidth

A company is migrating a legacy application to the cloud. The application has a predictable baseline load with occasional spikes. The team must choose between a reserved instance (lower hourly cost, 1-year commitment) and an on-demand instance (higher hourly cost, no commitment). Which factor is MOST important in this decision?

The baseline load is predictable, making a reserved instance cost-effective

The occasional spikes require on-demand instances to handle them

The application is legacy, so on-demand is safer

The team should always choose on-demand to avoid commitment

A financial services firm is deploying a new trading application. The application generates a high volume of small random read/write operations with strict latency requirements, and the database must support thousands of transactions per second. The storage team is evaluating different storage tiers. Which workload characteristic is MOST critical to prioritize when selecting the storage tier?

Low latency and high IOPS for small block operations

Consistent throughput for large streaming writes

High capacity with moderate performance for archival data

High throughput for large sequential I/O
