 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.

Zones in the same region support low-latency intranet communication, ideal for high-availability deployments with inter-Zone fault isolation. Placement of ECS instances in the same or different Zones depends on the disaster recovery and latency needs of the application.

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

 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.
