  1. Chef says:

    To create a scheduled action

    Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.

    On the navigation pane, under Auto Scaling, choose Auto Scaling Groups.

    Select your Auto Scaling group.

    On the Scheduled Actions tab, choose Create Scheduled Action.

    On the Create Scheduled Action page, do the following:

    Specify the size of the group using at least one of Min, Max, and Desired Capacity.

    Select an option from Recurrence. If you select Once, Auto Scaling performs the action at the specified time. If you select Cron, enter a Cron expression that specifies when Auto Scaling performs the action, in UTC.

    Specify the start and end time using Start Time and End Time.

    Choose Create.

    Answer is E. You have the option to set the end time but it is not required. You can just skip that section and the scheduled action will work just fine.

    A is correct one in this case; You should at least provide min, max or desired. you are allowed to leave other two values null;
    Hence A is the one.

    Ans is A

    The user is going to schedule and end time is needed in that case. And user can mention desired capacity rather than Max value.

    A

    Specifying the StartTime and EndTime properties with Recurrence property forms the start and stop boundaries of the recurring action.

    I’m going with A , as it is congruent with this excerpt from

    http://docs.aws.amazon.com/es_es/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-as-scheduledaction.html

    When you update a stack with an Auto Scaling group and scheduled action, AWS CloudFormation always sets the min size, max size, and desired capacity properties of your Auto Scaling group to the values that are defined in the AWS::AutoScaling::AutoScalingGroup resource of your template, even if a scheduled action is in effect.

      The question clearly says “A user is trying to setup a scheduled scaling activity using Auto Scaling.” When you try schedule scaling activity using Auto Scaling
      1. Max Size is one among the options that has to be choosen
      2. ASG name is choosen by default
      3. Recurrence value has to be choosen

      Among the given options the only option that is absolutely not mandatory and can be left out is “End Time”
