Question #: 424
Topic #: 1

A user is aware that a huge download is occurring on his instance. He has already set the Auto Scal-ing policy to increase the instance count when the network I/
O increases beyond a certain limit. How can the user ensure that this temporary event does not result in scaling?

A. The policy cannot be set on the network I/O
B. There is no way the user can stop scaling as it is already configured
C. The network I/O are not affected during data download
D. He can suspend scaling temporarily

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
The user may want to stop the automated scaling processes on the Auto Scaling groups either to perform manual operations or during emergency situations. To perform this, the user can suspend one or more scaling processes at any time. Once it is completed, the user can resume all the suspend-ed processes.

Selected Answer: D

To ensure that a temporary event such as a huge download on an instance does not result in scaling, the user can suspend the Auto Scaling process temporarily. By suspending scaling, the Auto Scaling group will not respond to any scaling triggers or policies.

I don't see any metric based in network i/o https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/application/userguide/application-auto-scaling-target-tracking.html
