Selected Answer: B
Setting a minimum size of 2, desired capacity of 2, and maximum size of 2 ensures that there are always at least 2 instances running, providing redundancy and fault tolerance. If one instance becomes unavailable or experiences issues, the Auto Scaling group will automatically launch a replacement instance in one of the other Availability Zones to maintain the desired capacity.

B is the answer by having minimum of 2 instances in each AZ, whenever one instance fails, you still have the other. By having more than one AZ, whenever an AZ becomes Unavailable, you have the others.

A is correct. The reason for it is not all regions have 3 AZs. So this makes it very tricky because people think more is better and that's how they get you.

Depends on HA vs. FT Generally, HA means zero downtime, while FT means minimal downtime. Option A suggests Fault-Tolerance - or some downtime Option B suggests HA - or zero downtime Adding in the fact that Option A would be better achieved with Route53 instead of an ELB (to point to the instance), I would say Option B is the right answer

B is the correct answer. C and D talk at the region level and A is not as "HA" as "B"

after many check I think the answer is A, so 2 AZ and been autoscaling mean that if somethin happen and a new instance needs to be created it can in a new AZ, so AT LEAST means that having 2 AZ and 1 instance is enogh

checked again it's B , because in case the instance is terminated it will be a downtime until new instance is scale,must be 2 instance all the time in different AZ

Tricky question, but with HA I'd go with the below: B. Create an Auto Scaling group by using the launch configuration across at least 3 Availability Zones with a minimum size of 2, desired capacity of 2, and a maximum of 2.

B - Seems more right Let's look at it this way. If it's across only 2 AZ's with min 1 and max 1. If the servery in the 1st AZ crashes, it would mean that there would be a delay in time to get the next instance up. If we use A. That means , 1 AZ or server can fail and will still CONTINUE serving requests
