Agility
The ability to provision and reconfigure resources quickly as business needs change.
Agility in cloud computing is the capacity to rapidly provision, experiment with, and decommission resources as business needs change. On AWS, what once took weeks of procurement and data-center setup happens in minutes through the console, CLI, or infrastructure-as-code tools like AWS CloudFormation. CLF-C02 often tests agility versus elasticity: elasticity is the automatic scaling of capacity to match workload fluctuations, while agility is the broader organizational speed advantage — testing ideas cheaply, failing fast, and iterating without large upfront commitments. Both reduce time to market, but agility operates at the business and development-cycle level, not just the infrastructure layer.
