Which of the following statements describes launch configuration in Auto Scaling?
Answer options
- A. A launch configuration is a template that an Auto Scaling group uses to launch EC2 instances.
- B. A launch configuration is a template that an Auto Scaling group uses to define the max/minimum of instances.
- C. A launch configuration is a template that an Auto Scaling group uses to schedule the scaling ac-tivity.
- D. A launch configuration is a template that an Auto Scaling group uses to define the instance count.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
A launch configuration is an EC2 instance configuration template that an Auto Scaling group uses to launch new instances, defining parameters like AMI ID, instance type, and key pairs. Parameters such as maximum/minimum limits, desired instance count, and scaling schedules are configured within the Auto Scaling group settings itself, not the launch configuration.
