AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C02) Exam Prep Course - 2021 UPDATED! - Launch Methods

The video tutorial explains four methods to launch auto scaling groups: using launch templates, launch configurations, EC2 instances, and the Amazon EC2 launch wizard. It emphasizes the importance of understanding prerequisites and permissions, especially for the architect exam. The tutorial also highlights the need to choose the appropriate method based on the scenario and provides insights into creating AMIs from EC2 instances for auto scaling.

What is a crucial requirement for a launch template to successfully create an auto scaling group?

• It must be linked to a VPC.

• It must be created by an admin user.

• It must specify all parameters required to launch an EC2 instance.

• It must include a security group.

What permission is necessary for an IAM user to create an auto scaling group using a launch template?

• EC2: terminate instances

• EC2: stop instances

• EC2: describe instances

• EC2: run instances

How can an existing EC2 instance be used to create an auto scaling group?

• By directly linking the instance to the group

• By using the instance's IP address

• By creating an AMI from the instance and using it

• By copying the instance's security group

What is the role of the Amazon EC2 launch Wizard in creating auto scaling groups?

• It provides a step-by-step guide to create instances and link them to a group.

• It automatically scales instances based on demand.

• It generates cost reports for running instances.

• It monitors the performance of instances.

When using the Amazon EC2 launch Wizard, what option allows you to create multiple instances?

• Choose 'Multiple Instances' during setup

• Activate 'Cluster Mode'

• Enable 'Instance Replication'

• Select 'Auto Scaling' in the dashboard
