how many instances will Auto Scaling launch?
A user has configured the Auto Scaling group with the minimum capacity as 3 and the maximum capacity as 5.
When the user configures the AS group, how many instances will Auto Scaling launch?
I think the answer is A. The default launch is going to configure 3 instances. It will only go to 5 under certain conditions. It won’t launch initially 5 instances. This question doesn’t give enough information to answer fully.
This question refers to either a ‘change in capacity’ or ‘exact capacity’, in both instances the capacity of deployed instances would be 5
Ans: C
Ref: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AutoScaling/latest/DeveloperGuide/as-scale-based-on-demand.html
ChangeInCapacity—Increase or decrease the current capacity of the group by the specified number of instances. A positive value increases the capacity and a negative adjustment value decreases the capacity.
Example: If the current capacity of the group is 3 instances and the adjustment is 5, then when this policy is performed, Auto Scaling adds 5 instances to the group for a total of 8 instances.
ExactCapacity—Change the current capacity of the group to the specified number of instances. Note that you must specify a positive value with this adjustment type.
Example: If the current capacity of the group is 3 instances and the adjustment is 5, then when this policy is performed, Auto Scaling changes the capacity to 5 instances.
I checked the aws , still say the answer is A , minimum of 3
what I checked below……..
After you have created your launch configuration and Auto Scaling group, the Auto Scaling group starts by launching the minimum number of EC2 instances (or the desired capacity, if specified). If there are no other scaling conditions attached to the Auto Scaling group, the Auto Scaling group maintains this number of running instances at all times.
Tom, could you please explain more why 5 as I understand the Quiz doesn’t quiet good wording.
thanks!
I will go with A.
A for me too. The question says what happens when the user configures the AS group with those values, that is when you initially set it up or modify it. The maximum only comes into play when scaling up to the maximum. AS will always start with min or desired amount
Hi! I just took the AWS-SysOps exam few days ago and luckily passed with 90% marks (the passing score is 65% now). I had 55 single choice and multiple choice questions in total, most of them were single answer questions. And, questions on Monitoring and Metrics, Deployment and Provisioning were not easy to answer, other questions on High Availability and Data Management and Analysis were very easy to get the correct answers.
I learned valid AWS-SysOps dumps here — https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-ob6L_QjGLpUWdPWXRHaERYWlU (recommend you to get the full version 310q AWS-SysOps dumps), all actual AWS-SysOps exam questions were from that 310q AWS-SysOps dumps.
Good Luck, my cool guys!
SPAMMMM
Its not SPAM dude. He really had some stuff there. I downloaded the dumps lol
C is correct.
I was actually tested in the same conditions.
The answer is A.
I created an Auto Scaling Group using my AWS free tier account with min of 3 and max of 5. I didn’t set any auto scaling policies. I only see 3 EC2 instances spin up.
Thanks Gig
Answer is A even though all the dumps say C
It’s a confusing question. You have to pay attention to the phrase “minimum capacity as 3 and the MAXIMUM CAPACITY as 5” It can only be C if that said ADJUSTMENT not MAXIMUM CAPACITY. Amazing what a couple words do. Because it says MAX CAP it means that it will spin up the minimum and only go to a total of 5 if required to do so
Explanation:
When the user configures the launch configuration and the Auto Scaling group, the Auto Scaling group will start instances by launching the minimum number (or the desired number, if specified. of EC2 instances. If there are no other scaling conditions attached to the Auto Scaling group, it will maintain the minimum number of running instances at all times.
Question is poorly written. A is correct.
Number of instances depend upon desired capacity, however AG use to launch miniumum instances so answer will be 3
A my cool guys….
A
A
Actually it depends from the “desired” parameter, which is not given. If this parameter set to 4, for example, then that will be the number. It is not possible to have it set to “0” if Minimum is greater than 0. You will get this message.
“Desired capacity must be between minimum and maximum group size, inclusive”.
So no correct answer can be found here.
The Desired Capacity is optional param.
If no Desired Capacity, ASG will initially scale to minimum
I would like think the answer is A, based off the last sentence says “configures” suggesting this the initial configuration of the ASG and launching of the instances.
The question is poorly written though
A.
