Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

Schedule-based autoscaling policy
Why it's wrong here
Schedule-based policies scale based on specific times and dates, not metric thresholds.
- ✓
Metric-based autoscaling policy
Why this is correct
Metric-based autoscaling evaluates utilization metrics like CPU or memory to trigger scaling actions.
