A SysOps administrator is creating an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group in a new AWS account.After adding some instances, the SysOps administrator notices that the group has not reached the minimum number of instances.The SysOps administrator receives the following error message:Launching a new EC2 instance.Status Reason: Your quota allows for 0 more running instance(s).You requested at least 1.Launching EC2 instance failed.

Which action will resolve this issue?

Adjust the account spending limits for Amazon EC2 on the AWS Billing and Cost Management console.

Modify the EC2 quota for that AWS Region in the EC2 Settings section of the EC2 console.

Request a quota increase for the instance type family by using Service Quotas on the AWS Management Console.

Use the Rebalance action in the Auto Scaling group on the AWS Management Console.

Explanations:

Adjusting the account spending limits does not affect the instance quota. The error message specifically refers to instance quota, not billing limits.

Modifying EC2 settings in the console is not the correct action to resolve quota issues. The error relates to instance quota, not console settings.

A quota increase request for the instance type family is necessary because the error message indicates that the instance quota for the account has been reached for the specific instance type.

The Rebalance action is used to optimize Auto Scaling group instance distribution across Availability Zones, not to resolve instance quota issues.

    It appears that the answer is:
    Request a quota increase for the instance type family by using Service Quotas on the AWS Management Console.
