 To execute a task at a specific time such as removing 1 ECS instance every night at 00:00, you need to perform two operations: create a scaling rule and create a scheduled task. A scaling rule is a set of instructions that defines how Auto Scaling scales computing resources in response to changes in business load. A scheduled task is a type of scaling task that can execute a specified scaling rule at a specified time. By creating a scaling rule that removes 1 ECS instance from the scaling group, and creating a scheduled task that executes this scaling rule every night at 00:00, you can achieve the desired result. You do not need to create a new scaling group, because you already have one scaling group created. You also do not need to create an event-triggered task, because this type of scaling task is triggered by events such as Cloud Monitor alarms or API calls, not by a specific time. References: 1, 2, and 3.

In Alibaba Cloud RDS, read-only instances are synchronized from the master instance but do not allow actions such as creating or deleting databases, configuring backup policies, or changing account authorizations. However, you can configure the read-only instance’s whitelist to control access.

According to the Alibaba Cloud documentation1, Auto Scaling is a service that automatically adjusts the number of elastic computing resources based on your business demands and policies. When the demand for computing resources increases, Auto Scaling automatically adds ECS instances to ensure sufficient computing capabilities. When the demand decreases, Auto Scaling automatically removes ECS instances to reduce costs.

Auto Scaling supports adding an existing ECS instance into the scaling group, but the instance must meet some requirements1. One of the requirements is that the instance and the scaling group must be in the same region. However, they do not have to be in the same zone. A zone is a physical area within a region that has independent power grids and networks. A region is a geographic area where Alibaba Cloud deploys its resources. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
