A digital publishing company experiences a predictable increase in readers every morning between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM. To handle this daily peak, the IT team manually increases the size (vCPUs and RAM) of their existing database server every morning, and decreases it in the afternoon. Does this manual adjustment of the database server's size represent horizontal scaling?
Cevap: Cevap
Cevap
The manual adjustment of increasing the size (vCPUs and RAM) of an existing database server represents vertical scaling (scaling up), not horizontal scaling (scaling out). Therefore, the correct answer is False.
The correct answer is False because horizontal scaling involves adding more instances of a resource (scaling out) to distribute the load, whereas the scenario describes adding more capacity (vCPUs and RAM) to a single existing server, which is vertical scaling (scaling up).

Anahtar Kavram
Vertical scaling (scaling up) increases the capacity of a single resource, whereas horizontal scaling (scaling out) adds additional resource instances.
