Q

Which of the following services may not be required when building auto-scalable architecture in AWS?

A

Cloudwatch
– (S3) –
Autoscaling
AWS EC2

Explanation
The user can achieve automated scalability by configuring the AutoScaling service to run the required number of EC2 instances based on the conditions that he define. Cloudwatch is used to monitor the utilization of the running instances and allow AutoScaling to automatically scale up (by launching more instances) or down (by terminating instances) based on changes on demand.

Based on the application requirements, a developer may decide not to use S3. The storage resource in this case will be the EBS volumes that are attached to the Amazon EC2 instances.
