Answer:
(1) Rigidity
Explanation:
Cloud computing can be defined as a type of computing that requires shared computing resources such as cloud storage (data storage), servers, computer power, and software over the internet rather than local servers and hard drives.
Generally, cloud computing offers individuals and businesses a fast, effective and efficient way of providing services.
Cloud computing comprises of three (3) service models and these are;
1. Platform as a Service (PaaS).
2. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
3. Software as a Service (SaaS).
The two (2) main characteristics of cloud computing are;
I. Measured service: it allows cloud service providers to monitor and measure the level of service used by various clients with respect to subscriptions.
II. Resource pooling: this allows cloud service providers to serve multiple customers or clients with services that are scalable and provisional.
However, rigidity is not a characteristic of cloud computing because it is generally considered to be dynamic and flexible for the end users.
