AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 831

Which of the following comes before Auto Scaling group creation?

Answer options

• A. Creating the Auto Scaling launch config
• B. Creating the Auto Scaling policy
• C. Creating the Auto Scaling tags
• D. Creating the Auto Scaling instance

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Before an Auto Scaling group can be created, a launch configuration (or launch template) must exist to define the EC2 instance parameters like AMI and instance type. Scaling policies and tags are typically configured during or after the group's creation. Auto Scaling instances are automatically launched by the group itself after it has been created, rather than created beforehand.
