Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 topic 1 question 268 discussion

Exam question from Amazon's AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02
Question #: 268
Topic #: 1
[All AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 Questions]

A company has a website that runs on four Amazon EC2 instances that are behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). When the ALB detects that an EC2 instance is no longer available, an Amazon CloudWatch alarm enters the ALARM state. A member of the company's operations team then manually adds a new EC2 instance behind the ALB.

A solutions architect needs to design a highly available solution that automatically handles the replacement of EC2 instances. The company needs to minimize downtime during the switch to the new solution.

Which set of steps should the solutions architect take to meet these requirements?

  • A. Delete the existing ALB. Create an Auto Scaling group that is configured to handle the web application traffic. Attach a new launch template to the Auto Scaling group. Create a new ALB. Attach the Auto Scaling group to the new ALB. Attach the existing EC2 instances to the Auto Scaling group.
  • B. Create an Auto Scaling group that is configured to handle the web application traffic. Attach a new launch template to the Auto Scaling group. Attach the Auto Scaling group to the existing ALAttach the existing EC2 instances to the Auto Scaling group.
  • C. Delete the existing ALB and the EC2 instances. Create an Auto Scaling group that is configured to handle the web application traffic. Attach a new launch template to the Auto Scaling group. Create a new ALB. Attach the Auto Scaling group to the new ALB. Wait for the Auto Scaling group to launch the minimum number of EC2 instances.
  • D. Create an Auto Scaling group that is configured to handle the web application traffic. Attach a new launch template to the Auto Scaling group. Attach the Auto Scaling group to the existing ALB. Wait for the existing ALB to register the existing EC2 instances with the Auto Scaling group.

Selected Answer: B
Deleting the ALB will increase downtime, so A & C eliminated. B & D are similar but D suggests wait for ALB to register EC2 instances, again causing delay so eliminated

B and D are similar but B is wrong since you cannot add ec2 instances to autoscaling group. You can only add ec2 to ALB target group.

You are wrong. Don't misguide others here with wrong argument. You can attach EC2 to ASG for sure https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/ec2/userguide/ec2-auto-scaling-detach-attach-instances.html just simply google `attach ec2 to asg` and you will find the doc above. I don't understand why ppl just make random wrong assumptions and misguide others while it only take a few seconds to verify on google/chatgpt

Is ALB even capable of automatically registering existing EC2 instances with an ASG? I don't think so.

Does it require Attaching the existing EC2 instances to the Auto Scaling group? Why is D incorrect or Why B is a better response than D?

Selected Answer: B
Auto Scaling groups are designed to ensure that you are running your desired number of Amazon EC2 instances. It also can automatically replace any instances that fail or are unhealthy based on health checks. You can specify the minimum, maximum, and desired number of instances in your Auto Scaling group. By attaching a new launch template to the Auto Scaling group, the Auto Scaling group knows what configuration to use for the new instances it launches. There's no need to delete the existing ALB as suggested in options A and C. The ALB is still functional and will work with the newly created Auto Scaling group. You can directly attach the Auto Scaling group to the existing ALB.
