Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
1. Define the VM template, 2. Define the auto-scaling group, 3. Define the CPU-based scaling policy, 4. Attach the policy to the group, 5. Test the configuration
First define the template, then the group, then the scaling policy, attach it, and test.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
1. Define the VM template, 2. Define the auto-scaling group, 3. Define the CPU-based scaling policy, 4. Attach the policy to the group, 5. Test the configuration
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because the template must exist before creating the group that uses it, the group must exist before attaching a policy, and testing should be done after the policy is attached to validate the setup.
- ✗
1. Define the VM template, 2. Define the CPU-based scaling policy, 3. Define the auto-scaling group, 4. Attach the policy to the group, 5. Test the configuration
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the scaling policy references the auto-scaling group, so the group must be defined before the policy is created. Defining the policy before the group would cause an error.
- ✗
1. Define the auto-scaling group, 2. Define the VM template, 3. Define the CPU-based scaling policy, 4. Attach the policy to the group, 5. Test the configuration
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the auto-scaling group requires a VM template to launch instances. Defining the group before the template would fail as the template doesn't exist.
- ✗
1. Define the VM template, 2. Define the auto-scaling group, 3. Define the CPU-based scaling policy, 4. Test the configuration, 5. Attach the policy to the group
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because testing the auto-scaling functionality before attaching the policy would not trigger any scaling actions. The policy must be attached for scaling to work.
