A user is planning to scale up an application by 8 AM and scale down by 7 PM daily using Auto
Scaling. What should the user do in this case?
A.
Setup the scaling policy to scale up and down based on the CloudWatch alarms
B.
The user should increase the desired capacity at 8 AM and decrease it by 7 PM manually
C.
The user should setup a batch process which launches the EC2 instance at a specific time
D.
Setup scheduled actions to scale up or down at a specific time
Explanation:
Auto Scaling based on a schedule allows the user to scale the application in response to
predictable load
changes. To configure the Auto Scaling group to scale based on a schedule, the user needs to
create
scheduled actions. A scheduled action tells Auto Scaling to perform a scaling action at a certain
time in the future.
