Exam AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate SAA-C02 topic 1 question 558 discussion

A company runs a three-tier web application in a VPC across multiple Availability Zones. Amazon EC2 instances run in an Auto Scaling group for the application tier.
The company needs to make an automated scaling plan that will analyze each resource's daily and weekly historical workload trends. The configuration must scale resources appropriately according to both the forecast and live changes in utilization.
Which scaling strategy should a solutions architect recommend to meet these requirements?

  • A. Implement dynamic scaling with step scaling based on average CPU utilization from the EC2 instances.
  • B. Enable predictive scaling to forecast and scale. Configure dynamic scaling with target tracking.
  • C. Create an automated scheduled scaling action based on the traffic patterns of the web application.
  • D. Set up a simple scaling policy. Increase the cooldown period based on the EC2 instance startup time.

Use predictive scaling with dynamic scaling. Dynamic scaling is used to automatically scale capacity in response to real-time changes in resource utilization. Using it with predictive scaling helps you follow the demand curve for your application closely, scaling in during periods of low traffic and scaling out when traffic is higher than expected. When multiple scaling policies are active, each policy determines the desired capacity independently, and the desired capacity is set to the maximum of those. For example, if 10 instances are required to stay at the target utilization in a target tracking scaling policy, and 8 instances are required to stay at the target utilization in a predictive scaling policy, then the group's desired capacity is set to 10. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/ec2/userguide/ec2-auto-scaling-predictive-scaling.html

Correct Answer: B You "can use predictive scaling, dynamic scaling, or both. Predictive scaling works by forecasting load and scheduling minimum capacity; dynamic scaling uses target tracking to adjust a designated CloudWatch metric to a specific target. The two models work well together because of the scheduled minimum capacity already set by predictive scaling." https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-predictive-scaling-for-ec2-powered-by-machine-learning/
