Does Autoscaling automatically assign tags to resources?

A. No, not unless they are configured via API.
B. Yes, it does.
C. Yes, by default.
D. No, it does not.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Explanation: Tags don’t have any semantic meaning to Amazon EC2 and are interpreted strictly as a string of characters. Tags are assigned automatically to the instances created by an Auto Scaling group. Auto Scaling adds a tag to the instance with a key of aws: autoscaling:groupName and a value of the name of the Auto Scaling group.
