Well, well, well, look who's trying to trick us with this question! The app already has 2 instances, and the autoscale rule allows it to scale up to a maximum of 5. So, the answer has to be B) 3. Anything else would be a rookie mistake, am I right?

Yeah, it makes sense. The app can scale up to 5 instances, but since it already has 2 running, it will only add one more.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I mean, if the app is using 80% of the available memory, shouldn't it scale up to the maximum of 5 instances? Maybe I'm missing something here. D) 5 seems like the way to go, but I'm open to being corrected.

This question is a piece of cake! The answer is clearly B) 3. It's basic math - the app starts with 2 instances, and the autoscale rule allows it to scale up to a maximum of 5 instances. Simple stuff, really.

That's correct! The app can scale up to a maximum of 5 instances, but since it starts with 2, it will only reach 3 instances during the 30-minute period.

So, even if the app is using 80% of the memory, it will only scale up to 5 instances.

The correct answer is B) 3. The autoscale rule is set to scale up to a maximum of 5 instances, and the app is currently using 80% of the available memory, which would trigger the scale-up condition. Since the app already has 2 running instances, it would scale up to 3 instances during the 30-minute period.

I agree with Luisa, because the autoscale rule is configured to scale up when memory usage is high.
