Explanation:
The Auto Scaling command as-terminate-instance-in-auto-scaling-group <Instance ID> will terminate the
specific instance ID. The user is required to specify the parameter as –decrement-desired-capacity. Then Auto
Scaling will terminate the instance and decrease the desired capacity by 1. In this case since the minimum size
is 2, Auto Scaling will not allow the desired capacity to go below 2. Thus, it will throw an error.
