AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 593

In which screen does a user select the Availability Zones while configuring Auto Scaling?

Answer options

• A. Auto Scaling Group Creation
• B. Auto Scaling Instance Creation
• C. Auto Scaling Launch config Creation
• D. Auto Scaling Policy Creation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Availability Zones and subnets are specified during the creation of the Auto Scaling Group (ASG), which manages the deployment and distribution of EC2 instances. The Launch Configuration or Launch Template only defines the template of the instance (such as AMI and instance type) but not its network location. Scaling policies merely dictate the conditions under which the group scales up or down, not where the instances are launched.
