Compute Selection and Auto Scaling

Where this lesson fits

This lesson covers Domain 3: Design High-Performing Architectures, Task 3.2: Design high-performing and elastic compute solutions. Domain 3 represents 24% of the scored content of SAA-C03. Questions in this task give you a workload profile — a steady web tier, a bursty API, a nightly batch of 40,000 independent jobs, a memory-hungry analytics engine — and ask which compute service, which instance family, and which scaling policy and metric deliver the required performance elastically.
