Explanation
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling allows the company to automatically adjust the number of EC2 instances in response to traffic demands. Given that the surges in traffic occur at predictable times (every weekend day for approximately 4 hours), the company can configure Auto Scaling to scale out (add instances) during these peak times and scale in (remove instances) when the demand decreases, ensuring that there are enough resources to handle the increased traffic without over-provisioning.
