A company wants to combine Predictive Scaling with reactive scaling to optimize costs and performance. Which approach is best?
ASet fixed instance counts and avoid scaling policies
BDisable reactive scaling and rely only on Predictive Scaling
CUse reactive scaling only during business hours
DUse Predictive Scaling for forecasted demand and reactive scaling for unexpected spikes
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand scaling types

    Predictive Scaling plans for expected demand; reactive scaling handles sudden changes.
  2. Step 2: Combine for best results

    Using both allows cost savings and responsiveness to unexpected traffic.
  3. Final Answer:

    Use Predictive Scaling for forecasted demand and reactive scaling for unexpected spikes -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Combine predictive and reactive for cost and performance [OK]
Quick Trick: Predictive plans ahead; reactive reacts fast. Use both [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Disabling reactive scaling reduces responsiveness
  • Using reactive only limits cost optimization
  • Fixed counts ignore demand changes
