b)
By automatically scaling your AWS resources using an Elastic Load Balancer.
c)
By reducing interdependencies between application components wherever possible.
d)
By automatically provisioning the required AWS resources based on changes in demand.
3.
Which of the below is a best-practice when designing solutions on AWS?
a)
Invest heavily in architecting your environment, as it is not easy to change your design later.
b)
Use AWS reservations to reduce costs when testing your production environment.
c)
Automate wherever possible to make architectural (© ) experimentation easier.
d)
Provision a large compute capacity to handle any spikes in load
