Rapid elasticity: The ability of a cloud system to quickly scale up or down in response to changes in demand or usage. It is used in cloud computing to ensure that a system has the necessary resources to handle sudden increases in traffic or workload without affecting performance or availability. Examples include auto-scaling, load balancing, and resource allocation.
