AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 387

If you specify only the general endpoint (autoscaling.amazonaws.com), Auto Scaling directs your request to the:

Answer options

• A. us-west-2 endpoint.
• B. eu-central-1.
• C. eu-west-1 endpoint.
• D. us-east-1 endpoint.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

By default, AWS routes general, non-region-specific service endpoints like autoscaling.amazonaws.com to the US East (N. Virginia) region, which corresponds to us-east-1. To interact with other regional endpoints such as us-west-2, eu-central-1, or eu-west-1, you must explicitly specify the region-specific URL in your request.
