Question from the Infrastructure Architecture test
Vertical scaling by a factor N (N times more CPU power on the same machine) will give me N times more useful resources.,To solve a small CPU overload, on modern platforms, it is sometimes easier and faster to scale vertically.,It is more flexible to scale horizontally to handle future traffic growth.
