AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 258

A user has setup connection draining with ELB to allow in-flight requests to continue while the instance is being deregistered through Auto Scaling. If the user has not specified the draining time, how long will ELB allow inflight requests traffic to continue?

Answer options

• A. 600 seconds
• B. 3600 seconds
• C. 300 seconds
• D. 0 seconds

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the default connection draining timeout for ELB is set to 300 seconds if not specified by the user. Options A and B exceed this default duration, while option D indicates that no time is allowed, which is incorrect.
