Question

a large university has a class registration platform that is only used for a couple of weeks per semester to allow students to sign up for new classes. this means that the servers that host the application sit idle for much of the year. the servers are nearing the end of their lifecycle, and the university must decide on how to best migrate these resources to the cloud. which of the following benefits would best describe their ability to only pay for the servers they need for these short periods of time?
resource pooling
on - demand self - service
broad network access
measured service

Explanation:

The problem is about a university's class registration platform and the benefit of only paying for servers needed during short periods. "Measured service" in cloud computing refers to the ability to track and pay for only the resources used (like server usage here), matching the scenario. Resource pooling is about sharing resources, on - demand self - service is about self - provisioning, and broad network access is about network - based access, none of which fit as well as measured service.

Answer:

Measured service
