AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question

An e-commerce company runs a web application on Amazon EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The application experiences unpredictable spikes in traffic during promotional events. The company wants to ensure that the application can handle these spikes automatically without manual intervention and minimize costs during periods of low traffic. Which scaling strategy should the solutions architect recommend?

  • Maintain a fixed number of EC2 instances at maximum capacity to handle peak loads.

  • Manually adjust the number of EC2 instances before each promotional event to handle increased traffic.

  • Use larger instance types for the existing EC2 instances to accommodate more traffic.

  • Configure an Auto Scaling group with dynamic scaling policies based on target tracking.
