 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.

Alibaba Cloud SLB can distribute user requests to backend ECS instances, but these ECS instances do not have to have the same specification (CPU, Memory). SLB virtualizes the added group of ECS instances in the same region into an application pool, and you can manage backend servers through either the default server group, a primary server group, or VServer groups. You can add ECS instances of different specifications to the same server group or VServer group according to your needs. SLB supports weighted round-robin (WRR) and weighted least connections (WLC) algorithms to balance the load among backend servers with different weights. References:

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.

The DNS service provider used by the domain name (such as abc.com) does not need to support intelligent resolution, because the CNAME address allocated to the domain name will point to an IP address that is intelligently managed by Alibaba Cloud CDN system. Therefore, option C is not a correct description of modifying domain name resolution. References: What is Alibaba Cloud CDN? - CDN - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center and Alibaba Cloud CDN
