We have described the differences in the table given below:
Reason | Elasticity | Scalability |
---|---|---|
Capacity | It increases or reduces the capacity to handle the workload. | It only increases the capacity to handle the increasing workload. |
Resources | In this, the current demand for resources matches closely with available resources. | In this, the available resources may exceed the current demand to meet future demands. |
Workload | It adapts both increasing as well as decreasing workload by allocating resources in that manner automatically. | It adapts only increasing workload and handle it with increasing resources. |
Handling Workload | It handles the varying workload with the use of computer resources dynamically. | It handles the increasing workload with’ increasing the power of computer resources. |
Scaling | It includes “Scaling Up” or “Scaling down” depends on the variation of workload. | It includes “Scaling Up” or “scaling out” for capacity to serve workload. |
Duration | It enables the corporate to meet demands for services with short terms | It works on long terms, strategic schemes. |
