    Full Answer

    Adding more RAM to an existing virtual machine., Deploying additional virtual machines to handle increased web traffic.
    Scalability refers to the ability to adjust resources to meet demand. This can be done vertically (scaling up by adding more CPU/RAM to a single resource) or horizontally (scaling out by adding more instances of a resource).

    Common mistakes

    Confusing scalability with elasticity. Scalability is the *ability* to scale; elasticity is the *automated* scaling based on real-time demand.
