Question # 6

An events company runs a ticketing platform on AWS. The company's customers configureand schedule their events on the platform The events result in large increases of traffic tothe platform The company knows the date and time of each customer's eventsThe company runs the platform on an Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)cluster The ECS cluster consists of Amazon EC2 On-Demand Instances that are in an AutoScaling group. The Auto Scaling group uses a predictive scaling policyThe ECS cluster makes frequent requests to an Amazon S3 bucket to download ticketassets The ECS cluster and the S3 bucket are in the same AWS Region and the sameAWS account Traffic between the ECS cluster and the S3 bucket flows across a NATgatewayThe company needs to optimize the cost of the platform without decreasing the platform'savailabilityWhich combination of steps will meet these requirements? (Select TWO)
