Increasing the power of the existing resources in the working environment.

Increasing the power of the existing resources in the working environment.

• A. Horizontal Scaling
• B. Orchestration
• C. Vertical Scaling (Scaling Up)
• D. Resiliency Issues

Answer: (C)

Increasing the power of existing resources means upgrading a single machine’s hardware to handle more load—adding more CPU power, more memory, or faster storage on the same server. This approach is called vertical scaling (scaling up). It directly boosts the capacity of one node without introducing additional servers, which can be simpler to manage when the workload fits on one machine or when you want to avoid distributing state across many servers. This differs from horizontal scaling, which adds more servers to share the workload, and from orchestration, which focuses on coordinating deployment and lifecycle across multiple services, not on increasing the power of a single resource. Resiliency issues relate to reliability and fault tolerance rather than increasing resource power.
