  • A It automatically terminates immediately
  • B It becomes a standalone instance
  • C It remains in the group until termination
  • D It triggers a launch of a new instance
Explanation Removing an instance from Auto Scaling makes it standalone, not affecting group actions immediately.

Which service is best for object storage?

  • A Amazon S3
  • B Amazon RDS
  • C Amazon EC2
  • D Amazon DynamoDB
Explanation Amazon S3 is designed specifically for object storage, while the others serve different purposes.

  • A Traffic is routed correctly
  • B Traffic is not routed at all
  • C Traffic routes based on priority

  • A Provisioned IOPS SSD
  • B Magnetic storage
  • C General Purpose SSD

  • A New instances are launched
  • B No further scaling occurs
  • C Instances are terminated
  • D The group will shrink
Explanation When the maximum capacity is reached, no new instances are launched, as Auto Scaling respects the defined limits; the other options represent actions that won't take place.
