(Choose 1 answer)
The engineering team at a data analytics company has observed that its flagship application functions at its
peak performance when the underlying EC2 instances have a CPU utilization of about 50%. The application is
built on a fleet of EC2 instances managed under an Auto Scaling group. The workflow requests are handled by
an internal Application Load Balancer that routes the requests to the instances.
As a solutions architect, what would you recommend so that the application runs near its peak performance
state?
A. Configure the Auto Scaling group to use simple scaling policy and set the CPU utilization as the target
metric with a target value of 50%
B. Configure the Auto Scaling group to use a Cloudwatch alarm triggered on a CPU utilization threshold of
50%
C. Configure the Auto Scaling group to use target tracking policy and set the CPU utilization as the target
metric with a target value of 50%
D. Configure the Auto Scaling group to use step scaling policy and set the CPU utilization as the target metric
with a target value of 50%
