A DevOps engineer is helping the development team to create a Node.js application with AWS Elastic Beanstalk. He modified the maximum number of instances in Auto Scaling Group to 10 in the AWS console during environment creation. However, in the source bundle, there is a configuration file in the folder .ebextensions that sets the maximum number of instances to 5. Given that the maximum number is 4 for Elastic Beanstalk environment by default, what is the maximum number of ASG after the DevOps engineer in the AWS console creates the environment?

Answer options:

A.The environment cannot be created successfully as there is a conflict between the configurations. 
B.The maximum number is 10.
C.The maximum number is 5.
D.The maximum number is 4.

Correct Answer -B
There are several methods to modify the configuration settings in Elastic Beanstalk. Please refer to
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/command-options.html#configuration-options-recommendedvalues
for the priorities of various configuration options.
Option A is incorrect: Because the configuration settings in the AWS console belong to the ones applied directly to the environment. This is the highest priority, and the environment can be created successfully.
Option B is CORRECT: The priorities are “configurations in AWS console” > “configurations in .ebextensions” > “default value”. Therefore, the maximum value of ASG will be 10.
Options C and D are incorrect: Refer to the explanations in Option
B.
