Use Elasticity to Scale Cloud Resources with Carnegie Mellon Uni & MS Learn

Learn how to use elasticity to scale your cloud resources with Jay Gordan, Dwitrisha Saha and Carnegie Mellon University Microsoft Learn Module. Cloud elasticity is the ability of your cloud service to continually reallocate and redistribute resources to adapt to changing demands. With proper automation and strategy, you can increase your service’s computing power to better support your development.
