I feel like "Accelerated" is more about performance enhancements rather than scaling resources based on triggers.

"Optimized" sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it specifically relates to adding resources automatically.

I remember practicing a similar question about EC2 instance types, and I think "Managed" was more about services rather than performance features.

I think the answer might be "Burstable," but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right term they used in the study materials.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of this question. Is it asking about a specific feature, or just generally how EC2 instances can scale resources? I'll have to re-read it a few times to make sure I understand.

Okay, I've got this. Burstable instances can temporarily use more CPU and memory than their baseline, which is what the question is asking about. I'm confident that's the right answer.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know EC2 has different performance options, but I can't remember the exact names. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I think the answer is Burstable, since that's the feature that allows an EC2 instance to scale up resources based on usage.

With Amazon's scaling, your instance can grow bigger than a blimp if you need it to.

D has to be the answer. Accelerated instances are designed for high-performance workloads, so that makes sense.
