AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 723

Which of the following statements is true of an Auto Scaling group?

Answer options

• A. An Auto Scaling group cannot span multiple regions.
• B. An Auto Scaling group delivers log files within 30 minutes of an API call.
• C. Auto Scaling publishes new log files about every 15 minutes.
• D. An Auto Scaling group cannot be configured to scale automatically.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

An Auto Scaling group is a regional resource and is confined to a single AWS region, though it can span multiple Availability Zones within that region. The options regarding log file delivery times (15 and 30 minutes) are incorrect and do not represent standard Auto Scaling behaviors. Lastly, the core function of an Auto Scaling group is to enable automatic scaling, making the claim that it cannot do so false.
