Question 253 of 259
Single answerAn entertainment company recently launched a new game. To ensure a good experience for players during the launch period, the company deployed a static quantity of 12 r6g.16xlarge (memory optimized) Amazon EC2 instances behind a Network Load Balancer. The company's operations team used the Amazon CloudWatch agent and a custom metric to include memory utilization in its monitoring strategy.
Analysis of the CloudWatch metrics from the launch period showed consumption at about one quarter of the CPU and memory that the company expected. Initial demand for the game has subsided and has become more variable. The company decides to use an Auto Scaling group that monitors the CPU and memory consumption to dynamically scale the instance fleet. A solutions architect needs to configure the Auto Scaling group to meet demand in the most cost-effective way.
Which solution will meet these requirements?
A. Configure the Auto Scaling group to deploy c6g.4xlarge (compute optimized) instances. Configure a minimum capacity of 3, a desired capacity of 3, and a maximum capacity of 12.
B. Configure the Auto Scaling group to deploy m6g.4xlarge (general purpose) instances. Configure a minimum capacity of 3, a desired capacity of 3, and a maximum capacity of 12.
C. Configure the Auto Scaling group to deploy r6g.4xlarge (memory optimized) instances. Configure a minimum capacity of 3, a desired capacity of 3, and a maximum capacity of 12.
D. Configure the Auto Scaling group to deploy r6g.8xlarge (memory optimized) instances. Configure a minimum capacity of 2, a desired capacity of 2, and a maximum capacity of 6.
<p>C. Configure the Auto Scaling group to deploy r6g.4xlarge (memory optimized) instances. Configure a minimum capacity of 3, a desired capacity of 3, and a maximum capacity of 12.</p>
