Q297. An entertainment company recently launched a new game.To ensure a good experience for players during the launch period, the company deployed a static quantity of 12 r6g.16xlarge (memory optimized) Amazon EC2 instances behind a Network Load Balancer. The company's operations team used the Amazon CloudWatch agent and a custom metric to include memory utilization in its monitoring strategy Analysis of the CloudWatch metrics from the launch period showed consumption at about one quarter of the CPU and memory that the company expected. Initial demand for the game has subsided and has become more variable. The company decides to use an Auto Scaling group that monitors the CPU and memory consumption to dynamically scale the instance fleet. A solutions architect needs to configure the Auto Scaling group to meet demand in the most cost-effective way. Which solution will meet these requirements?

Correct Answer: C. Configure the Auto Scaling group to deploy r6g.4xlarge (memory optimized) instances. Configure a minimum capacity of 3, a desired capacity of 3, and a maximum capacity of 12

Explanation

because it uses r6g.4xlarge instances, which are less expensive than r6g.16xlarge instances. Additionally, the Auto Scaling group is configured with a minimum capacity of 3, a desired capacity of 3, and a maximum capacity of 12, allowing for flexibility in scaling based on demand. This ensures that the company can meet variable demand while optimizing costs.
