A provider requires customers to email an account manager before additional storage is allocated, with provisioning completed within two working days. Which essential characteristic does the offering fail?

  1. Rapid elasticity, which requires capacity to appear unlimited.
  2. Broad network access, which requires access through standard mechanisms.
  3. On-demand self-service, which requires provisioning without human interaction with the provider.
  4. Measured service, which requires usage to be metered and reported.

Answer: C. On-demand self-service, which requires provisioning without human interaction with the provider.

On-demand self-service means a consumer can unilaterally provision capabilities such as server time and network storage automatically, without requiring human interaction with the provider.
