A company's multi-tier application on EC2 instances within an Auto Scaling group is facing increased traffic, leading to overloads and storage issues on its Amazon RDS Oracle database. With no scaling metrics set and only a minimum healthy instance count defined, and anticipating unpredictable but continuous traffic growth, what actions should be taken for automatic scaling?
A company's multi-tier application on EC2 instances within an Auto Scaling group is facing increased traffic, leading to overloads and storage issues on its Amazon RDS Oracle database. With no scaling metrics set and only a minimum healthy instance count defined, and anticipating unpredictable but continuous traffic growth, what actions should be taken for automatic scaling?
Explanation:
The correct answers are A and D. Option A, 'Enable storage Auto Scaling for the RDS Oracle instance,' ensures that the database can handle increased storage requirements seamlessly. Option D, 'Define a scaling metric for the Auto Scaling group based on system load,' helps to automatically adjust the number of EC2 instances in response to the increasing traffic. Together, these solutions help manage both database storage and compute resources as traffic grows.
