Good scaling keeps apps fast and avoids paying for unused servers.
Step 2: Match Predictive Scaling behavior
It forecasts traffic and adjusts capacity before changes, balancing speed and cost.
Step 3: Evaluate options
Only By forecasting traffic and adjusting capacity before changes to keep apps fast and save money describes forecasting and proactive adjustment to balance cost and performance.
Final Answer:
By forecasting traffic and adjusting capacity before changes to keep apps fast and save money -> Option C
Quick Check:
Forecasting balances cost and speed [OK]
Quick Trick:Forecast first, then scale to save money and stay fast [OK]
