Question 608 - SAA-C03 discussion

Report
Export

A company runs a three-tier web application in a VPC across multiple Availability Zones. Amazon EC2 instances run in an Auto Scaling group for the application tier.

The company needs to make an automated scaling plan that will analyze each resource's daily and weekly historical workload trends. The configuration must scale resources appropriately according to both the forecast and live changes in utilization.

Which scaling strategy should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements?

A.
Implement dynamic scaling with step scaling based on average CPU utilization from the EC2 instances.

C.
Create an automated scheduled scaling action based on the traffic patterns of the web application.
Answers
C.
Create an automated scheduled scaling action based on the traffic patterns of the web application.
D.
Set up a simple scaling policy. Increase the cooldown period based on the EC2 instance startup time
Answers
D.
Set up a simple scaling policy. Increase the cooldown period based on the EC2 instance startup time
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

This solution meets the requirements because it allows the company to use both predictive scaling and dynamic scaling to optimize the capacity of its Auto Scaling group. Predictive scaling uses machine learning to analyze historical data and forecast future traffic patterns. It then adjusts the desired capacity of the group in advance of the predicted changes. Dynamic scaling uses target tracking to maintain a specified metric (such as CPU utilization) at a target value. It scales the group in or out as needed to keep the metric close to the target. By using both scaling methods, the company can benefit from faster, simpler, and more accurate scaling that responds to both forecasted and live changes in utilization.
