A call center application consists of a three-tier application using Auto Scaling groups to automatically scale resources as needed. Users report that every morning at 9:00 AM the system becomes very slow for about 15 minutes. A Solution Architect determines that a large percentage of the call center staff starts work at 9:00 AM, so Auto Scaling does not have enough time to scale out to meet demand.
How can the Architect fix the problem?
A. Change the Auto Scaling group’s scale out event to scale based on network utilization.
B. Create an Auto Scaling scheduled action to scale out the necessary resources at 8:30 AM every morning.
C. Use Reserved Instances to ensure the system has reserved the right amount of capacity for the scale-up events.
D. Permanently keep a steady state of instances that is needed at 9:00 AM to guarantee available resources, but leverage Spot Instances.
Correct Answer is B
A also can be correct but spinning up instances can take some time to come up. The issue is clearly time boxed so setting up a time based auto scaling group would be handy . Configure auto scaling group at 8.45 would make more sense
