A.
Terminate the instances with the ec2-terminate-instance command

B.
Terminate the Auto Scaling instances with the as-terminate-instance command

C.
Set the minimum size and desired capacity to 0

D.
There is no need to change the capacity. Run the as-delete-group command and it will reset all values to 0

Explanation:
If the user wants to delete the Auto Scaling group, the user should manually set the values of the minimum
and desired capacity to 0. Otherwise Auto Scaling will not allow for the deletion of the group from CLI. While
trying from the AWS console, the user need not set the values to 0 as the Auto Scaling console will
automatically do so.

    I want to pick D but there is no “as-delete-group” command, the command should be

    aws autoscaling delete-auto-scaling-group –auto-scaling-group-name my-auto-scaling-group

    so i guess i would pick C

    If the question was delete launch config then you can directly use the delete command from CLI.

    D – You are wanting to delete the group and not necessarily the running instances. If you make 0 the instances will die but the group will still be there.
