I'm going to have to go with D. 6 ECS instances. It's like my grandma always said, 'If you're going to scale, scale big or go home.' Alibaba Cloud must be feeling generous with their instance allocations this week.

Yeah, I agree. With the minimum set to 2 and maximum set to 7, adding 6 makes sense.

I think it's D too. 6 ECS instances sounds about right.

I'm going with B. 2 ECS instances will be added. The scaling rule says to add 6 instances, but the maximum number of instances is 7, and there are already 3 instances in the group. So, the system will only add 2 more instances to reach the maximum of 7.

The answer is clearly D. 6 ECS instances will be added. What's the point of setting a maximum if you're not going to use it? I bet the person who wrote this question is an Alibaba Cloud salesperson trying to trick us into buying more resources than we need.

Yeah, it's important to always be aware of the resources you're using and not fall for unnecessary upsells.

I think the answer is C. 4 ECS instances will be added, because the current number of instances is 3, and the scaling rule is to add 6 instances. So, the total number of instances will be 3 + 6 = 9, which is more than the maximum of 7, so it will only add 4 instances to reach the maximum of 7.

The correct answer is D. 6 ECS instances will be added to the scaling group when the scheduled task is activated. The scaling group has a minimum of 2 instances and a maximum of 7 instances, and the scaling rule is to add 6 instances. Since there are already 3 instances in the group, adding 6 more will bring the total to 9, which is within the maximum limit of 7.
