In an on-premises environment, you have to pay for the capacity you have regardless of whether you’re using it, and you can’t exceed that capacity without purchasing and provisioning new hardware. In the cloud, however, you have much more flexibility thanks to cloud elasticity, which is the ability to automatically provision or deprovision resources based on workload changes.
