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.

To isolate ECS instances within different VSwitches in a VPC while allowing them to access the internet and other intranet resources, each VSwitch's instances should be in separate Security Groups. By configuring each group to allow all VPC CIDR blocks first and then restricting access to other VSwitch CIDR blocks with a higher priority rule, instances in each VSwitch are isolated without affecting the VPC's external connections. This approach follows Alibaba Cloud's Security Group best practices and CIDR-based access control within VPC environments.

=================

According to the Alibaba Cloud Academy, Auto Scaling supports three scaling modes: manual mode, scheduled task, and cloud monitor and event-triggered task. Manual mode requires manual intervention to adjust the number of ECS instances, which is not feasible and with minimum operation efforts. Scheduled task allows you to set the time and number of ECS instances to be added or removed in advance, which is suitable for predictable traffic changes. Cloud monitor and event-triggered task allows you to set the monitoring metrics and thresholds for scaling actions, which is suitable for dynamic traffic changes. Healthy check mode is not a scaling mode, but a feature of SLB to ensure the availability of ECS instances behind the load balancer. References: : ACP Cloud Computing Certification Preparation Course - Auto Scaling, : ACP Cloud Computing Certification Preparation Course - Server Load Balancer
