SAA-C03 · Question #378
A solutions architect creates an Auto Scaling group for a memory-intensive application. The solutions architect wants to scale up and scale down based on memory usage. Which solution will meet this…
The correct answer is B. Install and configure the Amazon CloudWatch agent. Create a target tracking policy to scale. The Amazon CloudWatch agent is required to collect memory utilization metrics (as memory metrics are not reported by default). A target tracking policy is the simplest and most effective way to scale based on a custom metric such as mem_used_percent.
