 According to the Alibaba Cloud SLB documentation1, SLB provides a health check feature that monitors the availability and performance of the backend servers. If a backend server fails the health check, SLB stops routing requests to it and redirects the traffic to other healthy servers. This way, SLB can improve the system’s availability by eliminating single points of failure (SPOFs). Therefore, option A is a correct statement about SLB.

According to the same documentation1, SLB instances are assigned with public IP addresses or private IP addresses based on the network type. If you delete an SLB instance and create a new one, a new IP address will be allocated to the new instance. You cannot specify or reserve an IP address for an SLB instance. Therefore, option B is also a correct statement about SLB.

Option C is incorrect, because SLB does not require you to install or configure any SLB agent on the backend servers. You only need to add the backend servers to the SLB instance and configure the listener and the server group. SLB will automatically distribute the traffic to the backend servers based on the load balancing algorithm and the health check status2.

Option D is also incorrect, because SLB does not provide a function to automatically synchronize data among backend servers. SLB only handles the network traffic distribution and does not interfere with the data on the backend servers. You need to use other methods or tools to synchronize data among backend servers, such as rsync, lsyncd, or Alibaba Cloud Data Transmission Service (DTS)3.

Alibaba Cloud ECS allows users to set an auto-release time for Pay-As-You-Go instances, giving flexibility in handling temporary workloads without manually releasing instances. Notably, the auto-release time can be adjusted multiple times even after the instance has been created, allowing for modifications as business needs change. This feature provides a convenient way to manage costs by automatically releasing instances when they are no longer needed. However, once the auto-release time is set, it must be adjusted or canceled if changes are required.

Default VPCs do count toward your overall VPC quota in Alibaba Cloud, contrary to option D. Each region has a single default VPC that is automatically created by Alibaba Cloud, and users can create additional VPCs, which are then labeled as non-default VPCs. Default VPCs also have different constraints and operational characteristics compared to user-created VPCs, such as specific configurations for ease of use in basic setups.
