An auto-scaling policy has MinCapacity 5 and MaxCapacity 15, but scaling never goes above 5. What is a possible error?
ACooldown periods are too long
BAuto-scaling policy is attached to wrong resource
CTable is in a different AWS region
DTargetValue is set below 5
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand scaling limits

    Min and MaxCapacity allow scaling between 5 and 15.
  2. Step 2: Identify why scaling stuck at 5

    If policy is attached to wrong resource, scaling won't apply correctly.
  3. Final Answer:

    Auto-scaling policy is attached to wrong resource -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Wrong resource attachment blocks scaling = D [OK]
Quick Trick: Attach policies to correct resource for scaling [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Blaming cooldown without checking policy attachment
  • Misunderstanding TargetValue as capacity number
  • Assuming region mismatch causes scaling failure
