AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 826

Which of the choices below best describes what Auto Scaling is well suited for?

Answer options

• A. only for applications that experience hourly, daily, or weekly variability in usage.
• B. Both for applications that have stable demand patterns and that experience hourly, daily, or weekly variability in usage.
• C. Both for applications that use frameworks and SDKs to enhance its customer relationship.
• D. only for applications with a stable usage pattern but extremely high workload.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Auto Scaling is highly beneficial for both predictable, stable workloads and highly variable applications because it helps optimize costs during traffic dips and maintains performance during spikes. While it is commonly associated with fluctuating traffic, it also provides high availability and automated instance replacement for stable workloads. Options A and D are incorrect because they limit Auto Scaling to only one type of workload, while Option C is unrelated to infrastructure scaling.
