KEY: “application is very slow when the day begins, although it runs well by mid-morning” This tells you: - The issue is morning cold-start delay - Not “overall scaling efficiency during the day” - Not “cost optimization during peak hours” - Not “wrong max capacity setting” So the problem is: instances are not ready when users arrive
A. Implement a scheduled action that sets the desired capacity to 20 shortly before the office opens. This proactively scales up before the morning rush. - Ensures instances are ready and warm when traffic starts. - Keeps costs low because at night, it still scales down to 2. - Exactly solves the problem with minimal cost and operational effort. - Best practice for predictable workload patterns.
Chat says answer A - Pre-scaling with a scheduled action warms up instances before the morning surge, fixing the slow start while still letting the group scale down to 2 overnight. Options B/C wait for load to rise (still slow at start). D fixes capacity at 20 (not cost-effective).
