AWS Certified SysOps Administrator SOA-C01 – Question287

A user has configured ELB with Auto Scaling. The user suspended the Auto Scaling AddToLoadBalancer (which adds instances to the load balancer. process for a while). What will happen to the instances launched during the suspension period?

A.
The instances will not be registered with ELB and the user has to manually register when the process is resumed
B. The instances will be registered with ELB only once the process has resumed
C. Auto Scaling will not launch the instance during this period due to process suspension
D. It is not possible to suspend only the AddToLoadBalancer process

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

Explanation: Auto Scaling performs various processes, such as Launch, Terminate, add to Load Balancer etc. The user can also suspend the individual process. The AddToLoadBalancer process type adds instances to the load balancer when the instances are launched. If this process is suspended, Auto Scaling will launch the instances but will not add them to the load balancer. When the user resumes this process, Auto Scaling will resume adding new instances launched after resumption to the load balancer. However, it will not add running instances that were launched while the process was suspended; those instances must be added manually.
