Alibaba Cloud Auto Scaling service allows you to automatically adjust the number of ECS instances in a scaling group based on your business needs and scaling policies. You can set the minimum and maximum number of instances in a scaling group to limit the range of scaling actions1. When you create a scaling rule, you can specify the number of instances to be added or removed, or the expected number of instances after the scaling action2. You can also create a scheduled task to execute a scaling rule at a specified time or periodically3.

In this question, the customer sets the minimum number of instances to 6 and the maximum number of instances to 8 in the scaling group. This means that the scaling group will always have at least 6 instances and at most 8 instances. The customer also adds a scaling rule to remove 5 instances, and creates a scheduled task based on this rule. However, this scaling rule will not be executed if it violates the minimum and maximum limits of the scaling group. Therefore, when the scheduled task is activated once, the scaling group will only remove 2 instances, which is the difference between the current number of instances (8) and the minimum number of instances (6). The remaining number of instances in the scaling group will be 6, which is the correct answer. References: 1: Create a scaling group - Auto Scaling - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center2: Create a scaling rule - Auto Scaling - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center3: Create a scheduled task - Auto Scaling - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center.

Explanation

 ApsaraDB RDS is a cloud-based relational database service that provides secure, cost-effective, and scalable database solutions for various applications. RDS has many advantages over self-built databases, such as high availability, automatic backup, and easy O&M. One of the statements that is wrong when comparing RDS with self-built database is that self-built database supports quick deployment and elastic scaling. This is not true, because self-built database requires users to purchase, install, and configure hardware and software by themselves, which can be time-consuming and complex. Moreover, self-built database cannot easily adjust the computing and storage resources according to the business needs, which can lead to over-provisioning or under-provisioning. RDS, on the other hand, supports quick deployment and elastic scaling, because users can create, modify, or delete RDS instances in minutes through the console or API. Users can also scale up or down the RDS instance specifications, storage capacity, or network bandwidth without affecting the business continuity.

 Cloud disks are reliable because they use a distributed file management system with 3 redundant copies to provide block-level data storage for ECS instances, ensuring 99.9999999% data reliability. This means that the data stored on cloud disks is automatically replicated across three different physical servers in the same zone. If one server fails, the data can still be accessed from the other two servers. Cloud disks also support snapshot backup and recovery, which can help users restore data to a previous point in time in case of accidental deletion or corruption. References: Elastic Compute Service (ECS) - Alibaba Cloud Academy, Cloud Disk - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

An ECS disk can be used jointly or separately to meet the requirements of different application scenarios. ECS disks are categorized into ephemeral SSD disks and cloud disks. Compared with ephemeral SSD disks, cloud disks are more reliable as they use a triplicate distributed system to provide block-level data storage for ECS instances, ensuring 99.9999999% data reliability.

 A is the correct answer because RDS provides whitelist access policies that allow you to set permitted IP addresses and IP network segments to effectively prevent hackers from attacking the server by port scanning. A whitelist is a security feature that specifies the IP addresses or CIDR blocks that are allowed to access your RDS instance. By default, the whitelist is empty, which means that no IP address can access your RDS instance. You can add IP addresses or CIDR blocks to the whitelist according to your business needs. You can also create multiple whitelist groups and assign different IP addresses or CIDR blocks to each group. This can help you manage the access permissions of different users or applications12

 According to the Alibaba Cloud Academy, Alibaba Cloud’s object storage service (OSS) is a cloud storage service that enables you to store, backup, and archive any amount of data in the cloud. OSS is a cost-effective, highly secure, and highly reliable cloud storage solution. The capacity of each bucket is unlimited, and there is no limit on the number of files in a single bucket. Therefore, the statement is false. References: What is OSS? - Alibaba Object Storage Service Course - Cloud Academy, Object Storage Service(OSS): Store Data Safely In The Cloud - Alibaba Cloud Blog

 = A is the correct answer because the memory size of an ECS instance is determined by the instance type, and it cannot be changed independently. If you want to change the memory size of an ECS instance, you must change the instance type to another one that has a different memory size12

B, C, and D are incorrect answers because the system disk size, data disk size, and number of data disks of an ECS instance can be changed without changing the instance type. You can use the ECS console or API to resize the system disk or data disks of an ECS instance, or add or remove data disks from an ECS instance3456

Other security services, such as Anti-DDoS Pro, WAF, and Security Center Enterprise Edition, are charged based on different billing methods, such as subscription, pay-as-you-go, or traffic-based. Therefore, the statement is false. References: Alibaba Cloud Security Services - Alibaba Cloud Security Course - Cloud Academy, Alibaba Cloud Security Pricing - Alibaba Cloud

Your website has oscillating traffic peaks that are difficult to predict in advance. In this scenario, it is recommended to use SLB and Auto Scaling together with ECS. SLB is a service that distributes traffic among multiple ECS instances according to the configured forwarding rules. It can be used to balance the load and improve the service availability and fault tolerance of applications. Auto Scaling is a service that automatically adjusts computing resources based on your volume of user requests. When the demand for computing resources increases, Auto Scaling automatically adds ECS instances to serve additional user requests, or alternatively removes instances in the case of decreased user requests. By using SLB and Auto Scaling together with ECS, you can achieve high scalability and elasticity for your website, and cope with the changing traffic patterns12. References: 1: ACA Cloud Computing Exam Preparation Course - Alibaba Cloud3 2: Auto Scaling: Automatically Adjusts Computing Resources - Alibaba Cloud4

 Alibaba Cloud CDN can directly accelerate the access to the files stored in OSS and reduce OSS traffic costs. Alibaba Cloud CDN is a global network of points of presence (POPs) that are distributed across the globe. Alibaba Cloud CDN serves to reduce back-to-origin traffic. This in turn prevents network congestion and reduces latency. If you use Alibaba Cloud CDN to accelerate access to OSS, you can benefit from the following advantages1:

• Improved user experience: Alibaba Cloud CDN caches the files stored in OSS to the POPs that are nearest to the users. This reduces the distance that the files need to travel and improves the access speed and user experience.
• Reduced OSS traffic costs: Alibaba Cloud CDN reduces the number of requests that are sent to OSS. This reduces the OSS traffic costs and the load on the OSS servers.
• Enhanced security: Alibaba Cloud CDN supports HTTPS secure acceleration and anti-leech protection. This ensures the security and integrity of the files stored in OSS. References: Use Alibaba Cloud CDN to accelerate access to OSS

Load and Performance Testing Service (LPTS) is a service that helps users to test the performance and stability of their websites, applications, or servers under different load conditions. LPTS can simulate a large number of concurrent users and requests, and generate detailed reports on the response time, throughput, error rate, and other metrics of the target system. LPTS can help users to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, optimize resource utilization, and ensure the reliability and availability of their online services. References: Load and Performance Testing Service - Alibaba Cloud Academy, Load and Performance Testing Service - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

According to the Alibaba Cloud Academy, a cloud disk snapshot is a point-in-time backup of a cloud disk. You can use snapshots to back up data, create images, or restore data. The operations that you can do on a cloud disk snapshot are snapshot creation, snapshot deletion, snapshot rollback, and snapshot sharing. Snapshot duplicate and snapshot download are not the operations that you can do on a cloud disk snapshot. Therefore, the options A and C are the correct answers. References: Snapshot Overview - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center, ACA Cloud Computing Exam Preparation Course - Alibaba Cloud, Module 3: Cloud Computing Storage, Lesson 2: Snapshot, Slide 2

A large shopping mall deploys a new video surveillance system. The five-floor building in which the mall is located installed 35 HD cameras to monitor the major exits. The surveillance system is deployed on an ECS instance, which has four 2 TB data disks to store video data.

However, video data grows rapidly and the engineers find that the ECS will run out of storage space within 2 weeks.

In this case, OSS is thought to be the best solution for addressing the storage challenge while ensuring quick access to historical video data when needed. OSS is a cloud-based object storage service that provides massive, secure, low-cost, and highly reliable storage for unstructured data such as images, videos, and documents. OSS can store any amount of data and scale up or down on demand. OSS also supports direct video stream storage capabilities, removing the need for a video segmentation cluster. OSS can be accessed through RESTful APIs, SDKs, or web consoles, and can be integrated with other Alibaba Cloud services such as CDN, ECS, and SLB. OSS provides various storage classes for different data storage scenarios, from hot data storage to cold data storage. For video surveillance data, the Infrequent Access (IA) or Archive storage classes can be used to reduce the storage cost while maintaining high data durability and availability123. References: 1: Alibaba Cloud Multimedia Solutions | Video Monitoring & Surveillance1 2: Overview - Object Storage Service - Alibaba Cloud2 3: OSS Concepts - Alibaba Object Storage Service Course - Cloud Academy

Alibaba Cloud Server Load Balancer (SLB) is a service that distributes network traffic across multiple ECS instances to improve the service capabilities of applications. SLB supports different load balancing algorithms, such as round robin, weighted round robin, and least connections. When using the weighted round robin algorithm, SLB assigns different weights to backend ECS instances based on their processing capabilities. The higher the weight of a backend ECS instance, the more requests it will receive from SLB. However, the weight of a backend ECS instance is not the only factor that determines the load distribution. The number and the weight of other backend ECS instances in the same server group also affect the load balancing result. Therefore, without knowing the weight settings of the remaining 4 ECS instances, we cannot tell what would happen to the load distribution among the 5 ECS instances. The other statements are incorrect because they assume a fixed or proportional load distribution based on the weight of ecs_inst1, which is not necessarily true.

According to the Alibaba Cloud Academy, Auto Scaling is a service that automatically creates and releases ECS instances based on pre-defined rules in order to scale services to match demand. Furthermore, it can configure server load balancer and relational database service white lists, without any manual intervention. Therefore, using Auto Scaling is the most preferred method from the perspective of cost and implementation simplicity, as it can dynamically adjust the number of ECS instances according to the traffic fluctuations, without requiring manual operations or wasting resources. The other methods are either too complex, inefficient, or costly to implement. References: Introduction to Alibaba Auto Scaling - Cloud Academy, ACA Cloud Computing Exam Preparation Course - Alibaba Cloud, Module 4: Cloud Computing Elasticity, Lesson 1: Auto Scaling, Slide 2.

 RDS allows users to create multiple databases in one RDS instance, as long as the total storage capacity and performance of the instance are not exceeded. This can help users save costs and simplify management. Users can create, delete, and manage databases in the RDS console or by using SQL commands. However, databases with the same name are not allowed in the same instance, and resources are shared among the databases in the same RDS instance, such as CPU, memory, disk, and network bandwidth. References: Operate and Manage a Relational Database on the Cloud, Alibaba RDS Course | Cloud Academy, ACA Cloud Computing Certification - Alibaba Cloud Academy

Server Load Balancer (SLB) is a service that distributes traffic among multiple ECS instances to improve the service capabilities of applications.
