AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 224

You have decided to change the Instance type for instances running in your application tier that are using Auto Scaling.
In which area below would you change the instance type definition?

Answer options

• A. Auto Scaling launch configuration
• B. Auto Scaling group
• C. Auto Scaling policy
• D. Auto Scaling tags

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the instance type is defined in the Auto Scaling launch configuration, which specifies the instance settings that Auto Scaling uses to launch new instances. The other options, such as Auto Scaling group, Auto Scaling policy, and Auto Scaling tags, do not directly define the instance type.
