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.

In Alibaba Cloud RDS, multiple databases can be created within a single instance, allowing users to manage different databases under one RDS instance efficiently. However, databases within the same instance must have unique names, and resources such as CPU and memory are shared across databases within the same instance, contrary to the options provided in answers B and C.

Weighted Round Robin (WRR) is a load balancing mode that assigns requests to backend ECS instances based on their weights. The higher the weight of the backend ECS instance, the higher the chance that the instance will receive requests. This mode can exploit the different service capacities of backend ECS instances by setting higher weights to ECS instances with higher capacities. For example, if there are two ECS instances in the backend server pool, one with a weight of 10 and the other with a weight of 20, the ECS instance with a weight of 20 will receive twice as many requests as the ECS instance with a weight of 10.

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.
