Which of the below mentioned steps are to be performed by the user?
Terminate the instances with the ec2-terminate-instance command
Terminate the Auto Scaling instances with the as-terminate-instance command
Set the minimum size and desired capacity to 0
There is no need to change the capacity. Run the as-delete-group command and it will reset all values to 0
Explanations:
Theec2-terminate-instancecommand terminates EC2 instances, but it does not affect Auto Scaling groups directly. Terminating instances manually is not required when deleting an Auto Scaling group.
Theas-terminate-instancecommand is not a valid AWS CLI command. Auto Scaling manages instance termination automatically based on scaling policies. This is not necessary for deleting an Auto Scaling group.
Setting the minimum size and desired capacity to 0 ensures that the Auto Scaling group will not launch any new instances when scaling down, which is a necessary step before deleting the group.
Deleting the Auto Scaling group (as-delete-group) does not automatically reset capacity values. It’s necessary to manually adjust the capacity settings (min and desired) to 0 before deletion.
