An organization is struggling to keep up with the growth of their application which is running on legacy infrastructure. What might be holding them back?

Question

Options

• AThe time it takes their serverless compute function to scale
• BThe overreliance on platform as a service
• CThe inaccessibility of their data due to perimeter security
• DThe cost of provisioning hardware for peak usage

• A
  4% (2)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  95% (54)

Explanation

Legacy on-premises infrastructure requires organizations to purchase and provision hardware based on anticipated peak load - an expensive, slow process that cannot keep pace with rapid application growth. If usage spikes beyond that provisioned capacity, the system fails; if it stays below peak, expensive hardware sits idle. Cloud infrastructure eliminates this by offering elastic, on-demand scaling. Option A is incorrect because serverless scaling is actually a cloud advantage, not a legacy constraint. Option B (PaaS overreliance) is not a legacy problem. Option C (perimeter security limiting data access) is a potential concern but not the primary scaling bottleneck described.
