hard📝 Best Practice Q15 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand cost optimization and stability
To save costs, scale down servers when traffic is low but avoid too frequent scaling to prevent instability.Step 2: Evaluate options
Aggressive thresholds and short cooldown cause frequent scaling (not good). Disabling scale-in wastes money. Manual scaling is inefficient. Moderate thresholds with longer cooldown balance cost and stability.Final Answer:
Use moderate scale-in thresholds with longer cooldown periods. -> Option BQuick Check:
Moderate thresholds + longer cooldown = cost and stability [OK]
Quick Trick: Balance thresholds and cooldown for cost and stability [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Setting too aggressive scale-in causing flapping
- Disabling scale-in wastes money
- Relying on manual scaling
