A user is planning to setup infrastructure on AWS for the Christmas sales. The user is planning to use Auto
Scaling based on the schedule for proactive scaling. What advise would you give to the user?
A.
It is good to schedule now because if the user forgets later on it will not scale up
B.
The scaling should be setup only one week before Christmas
C.
Wait till end of November before scheduling the activity
D.
It is not advisable to use scheduled based scaling
Explanation:
Auto Scaling based on a schedule allows the user to scale the application in response to predictable load
changes. The user can specify any date in the future to scale up or down during that period. As per Auto
Scaling the user can schedule an action for up to a month in the future. Thus, it is recommended to wait until
end of November before scheduling for Christmas.

Answer is: C
StartTime -> (timestamp)
The date and time that the action is scheduled to begin. This date and time can be up to one month in the future.

It is probably outdated documentation. I was able to schedule 100 years ahead.
