AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C01)- Configure Auto Scaling - Lab Part 2

This video tutorial covers the configuration and testing of AWS autoscaling groups. It begins with an overview of previous configurations and the termination of unnecessary servers. The tutorial then guides viewers through setting up autoscaling groups, configuring network settings, and enabling load balancing. It explains the implementation of health checks and scaling policies, followed by a demonstration of testing the autoscaling setup. The session concludes with a cleanup of resources and a brief introduction to the next topic, Amazon Lightsail.

What is the first step in setting up autoscaling in this lab?

• Creating a launch template

• Setting up health checks

• Terminating unnecessary servers

• Configuring the load balancer

In which availability zones are the EC2 instances deployed?

• 1A and 1B

• 2A and 2B

• 1C and 1D

• 2C and 2D

What is the purpose of using a load balancer in this setup?

• To enhance security

• To increase server speed

• To distribute traffic evenly

• To reduce server costs

What does the autoscaling health check monitor?

• Disk space

• CPU usage

• Network traffic

• System and instance state

What is a target tracking scaling policy compared to?

• A compass

• A barometer

• A speedometer

• A thermostat

What happens when an EC2 instance fails a health check?

• It is ignored

• It is restarted

• It is terminated and replaced

• It is moved to another zone

How does autoscaling respond to a stopped server?

• By ignoring it

• By restarting it

• By terminating and replacing it

• By moving it to another zone

What should be done to prevent autoscaling from launching replacement instances during cleanup?

• Stop the load balancer

• Disable health checks

• Delete the autoscaling group

• Terminate instances individually

Why is it important to delete the load balancer after the lab?

• It causes security issues

• It slows down the system

• It incurs costs outside the free tier

• It is not needed anymore

What is the final step in the cleanup process?

• Removing IAM roles

• Deleting the target groups

• Stopping all EC2 instances

• Disabling the load balancer
