    The DevOps team at an e-commerce company has deployed a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances under an Auto Scaling group (ASG). The instances under the ASG span two Availability Zones (AZ) within the us-east-1 region. All the incoming requests are handled by an Application Load Balancer (ALB) that routes the requests to the Amazon EC2 instances under the Auto Scaling Group. As part of a test run, two instances (instance 1 and 2, belonging to AZ A) were manually terminated by the DevOps team causing the Availability Zones (AZ) to have unbalanced resources. Later that day, another instance (belonging to AZ B) was detected as unhealthy by the Application Load Balancer's health check. Can you identify the correct outcomes for these events? (Select two)

    As the resources are unbalanced in the Availability Zones, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will compensate by rebalancing the Availability Zones. When rebalancing, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches new instances before terminating the old ones, so that rebalancing does not compromise the performance or availability of your application, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling creates a new scaling activity for terminating the unhealthy instance and then terminates it. Later, another scaling activity launches a new instance to replace the terminated instance

    You work for a large software company in Seattle. The company has its production environment provisioned on AWS inside a custom VPC. The VPC contains both a public subnet and a private subnet. The company tests its applications on custom EC2 instances inside a private subnet. There are approximately 500 instances, and they communicate to the outside world via a proxy server. At 3 A.M. every night, the EC2 instances pull down OS updates, which are usually 150MB or so. They then apply these updates and reboot; however, if the software has not downloaded within half an hour, the update will attempt to download the following day. You notice that a number of EC2 instances are continually failing to download the updates in the allotted time. Which of the following answers might explain this failure? (Choose two.)

    The proxy server is on an inadequately sized EC2 instance and does not have sufficient network throughput to handle all updates simultaneously. You should increase the instance size of the EC2 instance for the proxy server., The proxy server is in a private subnet and uses a NAT gateway instance to connect to the Internet. However, this instance is too small to handle the required network traffic. You should re-provision the NAT gateway instance so that it’s able to handle the throughput.

The instances under the ASG span two Availability Zones (AZ) within the us-east-1 region. All the incoming requests are handled by an Application Load Balancer (ALB) that routes the requests to the Amazon EC2 instances under the Auto Scaling Group. As part of a test run, two instances (instance 1 and 2, belonging to AZ A) were manually terminated by the DevOps team causing the Availability Zones (AZ) to have unbalanced resources. Later that day, another instance (belonging to AZ B) was detected as unhealthy by the Application Load Balancer's health check. Can you identify the correct outcomes for these events? (Select two)

    As the resources are unbalanced in the Availability Zones, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will compensate by rebalancing the Availability Zones. When rebalancing, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches new instances before terminating the old ones, so that rebalancing does not compromise the performance or availability of your application, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling creates a new scaling activity for terminating the unhealthy instance and then terminates it. Later, another scaling activity launches a new instance to replace the terminated instance

    You work for a large software company in Seattle. The company has its production environment provisioned on AWS inside a custom VPC. The VPC contains both a public subnet and a private subnet. The company tests its applications on custom EC2 instances inside a private subnet. There are approximately 500 instances, and they communicate to the outside world via a proxy server. At 3 A.M. every night, the EC2 instances pull down OS updates, which are usually 150MB or so. They then apply these updates and reboot; however, if the software has not downloaded within half an hour, the update will attempt to download the following day. You notice that a number of EC2 instances are continually failing to download the updates in the allotted time. Which of the following answers might explain this failure? (Choose two.)

    The proxy server is on an inadequately sized EC2 instance and does not have sufficient network throughput to handle all updates simultaneously. You should increase the instance size of the EC2 instance for the proxy server., The proxy server is in a private subnet and uses a NAT gateway instance to connect to the Internet. However, this instance is too small to handle the required network traffic. You should re-provision the NAT gateway instance so that it’s able to handle the throughput.

    You have provisioned a custom VPC with a subnet that has a CIDR block address range of 10.0.3.0/28. Inside this subnet, you have two web servers, two application servers, two database servers, and a NAT. You have configured an Auto Scaling group on the two web servers to automatically scale when the CPU utilization goes above 90%. Several days later, you notice that Auto Scaling is no longer deploying new instances into the subnet, despite the CPU utilization of all web servers being at 100%. Which of the following answers may offer an explanation? (Choose two.)

    AWS reserves both the first four and the last IP address in each subnet’s CIDR block., Your Auto Scaling group (ASG) has provisioned too many EC2 instances and has exhausted the number of internal IP addresses available in the subnet.
