A county’s DR runbook scales out EC2 and load balancers in a standby Region on failover day. What must be true beforehand so scale-out is not throttled?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Quota day is before disaster day—ask for the headroom in the standby Region while everyone is calm, not while the sirens are already on.
Full Explanation
AWS service quotas can throttle DR scale-out if the standby Region lacks approved capacity for EC2, ELB, or related services. Architects should request and verify increases ahead of failover. Quotas are not unlimited by default, and deleting IAM roles does not grant compute quota.
