CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 139

While reviewing the auto-scaling events for a web application, a cloud engineer identified that the application upsized and downsized multiple times within the last hour.
Which of the following should the cloud engineer do NEXT?

Answer options

• A. Add more systems into the scaling group.
• B. Review the load balancer configuration settings.
• C. Review auto-scaling policies to detect a misconfiguration.
• D. Monitor auto-scaling events for the next 24 hours.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because reviewing the auto-scaling policies can help identify any misconfigurations that may be causing unnecessary scaling actions. Options A and B do not address the potential root cause of the scaling issue, and option D would only provide more data without resolving the underlying problem.
