Amazon Web Services AWS Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Question # 137 Topic 14 Discussion

This solution meets the requirements because it allows the company to use both predictive scaling and dynamic scaling to optimize the capacity of its Auto Scaling group. Predictive scaling uses machine learning to analyze historical data and forecast future traffic patterns. It then adjusts the desired capacity of the group in advance of the predicted changes. Dynamic scaling uses target tracking to maintain a specified metric (such as CPU utilization) at a target value. It scales the group in or out as needed to keep the metric close to the target. By using both scaling methods, the company can benefit from faster, simpler, and more accurate scaling that responds to both forecasted and live changes in utilization.
