An application on EC2 instances with an ALB experiences slowdowns during monthly financial batch processing, causing CPU spikes. What is the recommended solution to manage the load and prevent disruptions?
Explanation:
The correct answer is C. By setting up a scheduled Auto Scaling policy, you anticipate the predictable monthly workload spike caused by the financial batch processing. This ensures that additional EC2 instances are preemptively launched to handle the increased load, thus preventing performance degradation. Other options, such as implementing CloudFront, a simple scaling policy based on CPU utilization, or using ElastiCache, do not specifically address the issue of predictable, scheduled spikes in load.
