AWS - Auto Scaling

An Auto Scaling group has MinSize=1, MaxSize=5, and DesiredCapacity=3. You want to temporarily increase capacity to 6 instances during peak hours without changing MaxSize permanently. What is the best approach?

ASet MinSize to 6 during peak hours

BSet DesiredCapacity to 6 without changing MaxSize

CTemporarily increase MaxSize to 6, then revert after peak hours

DTerminate instances manually to reach 6

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand MaxSize limit
DesiredCapacity cannot exceed MaxSize, so MaxSize must be increased to 6 temporarily.
Step 2: Revert MaxSize after peak
After peak hours, revert MaxSize to original to control costs.
Final Answer:
Temporarily increase MaxSize to 6, then revert after peak hours -> Option C
Quick Check:
MaxSize limits maximum instances, must be adjusted for temporary scale-up [OK]

Quick Trick: MaxSize must allow DesiredCapacity increase before scaling up [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Trying to set DesiredCapacity above MaxSize without changing MaxSize
