Which action should the SysOps administrator take to meet this requirement?
Increase the maximum number of instances in the Auto Scaling group to meet the capacity that is required at peak usage.
Increase the minimum number of instances in the Auto Scaling group to meet the capacity that is required at peak usage.
Update the Auto Scaling group to launch new instances in a second Availability Zone in the same AWS Region.
Update the Auto Scaling group to launch new instances in an Availability Zone in a second AWS Region.
Explanations:
Increasing the maximum number of instances only affects capacity limits, not high availability. High availability requires distribution across multiple Availability Zones to prevent downtime.
Increasing the minimum number of instances ensures baseline capacity but does not address high availability. Instances need to be distributed across multiple Availability Zones.
Adding a second Availability Zone provides redundancy, ensuring the application remains available even if one zone fails, which is necessary for high availability.
Adding instances in a second Region does not improve high availability in the primary Region and would complicate latency and data replication for the application.
I guess:
Update the Auto Scaling group to launch new instances in a second Availability Zone in the same AWS Region.
It appears that the answer is:
Update the Auto Scaling group to launch new instances in a second Availability Zone in the same AWS Region.
