AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 592
Which of the following statements is true about Auto Scaling?
Answer options
- A. You can only delete your Auto Scaling group but not your Auto Scaling setup.
- B. If the Auto Scaling infrastructure is being deleted, it is not mandatory to delete the launch con-figuration.
- C. You can only delete your Auto Scaling set up but not your Auto Scaling group.
- D. If the Auto Scaling infrastructure is being deleted, it is mandatory to delete the launch configura-tion.
Correct answer: B
Explanation
When you delete an Auto Scaling group, the associated launch configuration is not automatically deleted, nor is it mandatory to delete it. Launch configurations exist as independent resources and can be reused by other Auto Scaling groups or kept for future use. Therefore, while deleting the Auto Scaling infrastructure, removing the launch configuration remains optional.
