Discuss Alibaba ACP-Cloud1 Exam Topic 6 Question 98

A customer uses Alibaba Cloud Auto Scaling service and creates a scaling group. They set the "Minimum number of instances" to 6 and the "Maximum number of instances" to 8. After correctly configuring scaling settings, the customer adds a scaling rule ''Adjust to 10 ECS instances'' and creates a scheduled task based on this rule. Then, the customer checks the scaling group and sees it already contains 6 valid ECS instances. They then enable this scaling group immediately. How many ECS instances will be in the scaling group when the scheduled task is activated once?

D10

Suggested Answer: C

Even though the scaling rule is set to 'Adjust to 10 ECS instances,' the maximum instance limit set for the scaling group is 8. Thus, when the scheduled task is triggered, Auto Scaling will increase the number of instances up to the maximum allowed, which is 8. Therefore, the scaling group will contain 8 instances, not 10, as it adheres to the defined maximum limit.

Yeah, 8 makes sense. They can't just add more than allowed.

I think 8 is the right answer too. The rule can't break the max limit.

Ammie 1 month ago

No way, the max is 8. It can't exceed that.

Kirby 1 month ago

I feel like the answer is 10. The rule should override the limit.

Sherrell 2 months ago

I agree with Nakisha. The scaling group limits it.

Nakisha 2 months ago

Exactly! So, it can't go beyond 8. I say 8 instances.

Cordelia 2 months ago

But they already have 6 instances. The max is 8.

Gwen 2 months ago

I think it will be 10 instances. They set the rule to adjust to that number.

Kirk 2 months ago

Definitely 8 instances, that's the max set!

Shenika 2 months ago

Wait, can it really go beyond the max limit?

Kristel 3 months ago

No way, it can only scale to a max of 8.

Herschel 3 months ago

I think it will go up to 10 instances when the task runs!

Paul 3 months ago

The scaling group starts with 6 instances.

Joaquin 3 months ago

If the scheduled task is activated, it should try to scale up to 10, but since the max is 8, I believe it will just cap at that number.

Micheline 3 months ago

I practiced a similar question, and I think the answer might be 8 because the maximum is set to 8, but I'm not completely confident.

Hayley 3 months ago

I think since the scaling group already has 6 instances and the rule is to adjust to 10, it should add more instances up to the maximum limit.

Adrianna 4 months ago

I remember that the minimum and maximum settings are crucial for determining how many instances can be added, but I'm not sure how the scheduled task interacts with them.
