AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — Question 540

A user has suspended the scaling process on the Auto Scaling group. A scaling activity to increase the instance count was already in progress.
What effect will the suspension have on that activity?

Answer options

• A. No effect. The scaling activity continues
• B. Pauses the instance launch and launches it only after Auto Scaling is resumed
• C. Terminates the instance
• D. Stops the instance temporary

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Suspending Auto Scaling processes does not affect scaling activities that are already underway; those activities will continue to completion. The suspension only prevents new scaling activities from being initiated. Thus, the active instance launch proceeds without interruption.
