Sample Questions

Question 1

What does horizontal scaling mean?

A. Adding more instances to share the load
B. Adding more CPU and RAM to one instance
C. Reducing the number of running instances
D. Moving an instance to a faster disk tier

✓ Correct Answer: A

Horizontal scaling (scaling out) adds more instances so work is distributed across them. Adding CPU and RAM to one instance is vertical scaling, not horizontal. Reducing instances is scaling in, the opposite direction. Changing disk tier is a storage tweak, not a change in instance count.

Question 2

What does vertical scaling mean?

A. Distributing requests across multiple nodes
B. Increasing the resources of a single instance
C. Spreading instances across availability zones
D. Adding a caching layer in front of servers

✓ Correct Answer: B

Vertical scaling (scaling up) increases the CPU, memory, or other resources of one machine. Distributing requests across nodes is horizontal scaling. Spreading across availability zones is a placement/availability concern. Adding a cache is an architectural change, not a resource increase on one host.
