 Cloud disks are reliable because they use a distributed file management system with 3 redundant copies to provide block-level data storage for ECS instances, ensuring 99.9999999% data reliability. This means that the data stored on cloud disks is automatically replicated across three different physical servers in the same zone. If one server fails, the data can still be accessed from the other two servers. Cloud disks also support snapshot backup and recovery, which can help users restore data to a previous point in time in case of accidental deletion or corruption. References: Elastic Compute Service (ECS) - Alibaba Cloud Academy, Cloud Disk - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

An ECS disk can be used jointly or separately to meet the requirements of different application scenarios. ECS disks are categorized into ephemeral SSD disks and cloud disks. Compared with ephemeral SSD disks, cloud disks are more reliable as they use a triplicate distributed system to provide block-level data storage for ECS instances, ensuring 99.9999999% data reliability.

According to the Alibaba Cloud Academy, Auto Scaling is a service that automatically creates and releases ECS instances based on pre-defined rules in order to scale services to match demand. Furthermore, it can configure server load balancer and relational database service white lists, without any manual intervention. Therefore, using Auto Scaling is the most preferred method from the perspective of cost and implementation simplicity, as it can dynamically adjust the number of ECS instances according to the traffic fluctuations, without requiring manual operations or wasting resources. The other methods are either too complex, inefficient, or costly to implement. References: Introduction to Alibaba Auto Scaling - Cloud Academy, ACA Cloud Computing Exam Preparation Course - Alibaba Cloud, Module 4: Cloud Computing Elasticity, Lesson 1: Auto Scaling, Slide 2.

Your website has oscillating traffic peaks that are difficult to predict in advance. In this scenario, it is recommended to use SLB and Auto Scaling together with ECS. SLB is a service that distributes traffic among multiple ECS instances according to the configured forwarding rules. It can be used to balance the load and improve the service availability and fault tolerance of applications. Auto Scaling is a service that automatically adjusts computing resources based on your volume of user requests. When the demand for computing resources increases, Auto Scaling automatically adds ECS instances to serve additional user requests, or alternatively removes instances in the case of decreased user requests. By using SLB and Auto Scaling together with ECS, you can achieve high scalability and elasticity for your website, and cope with the changing traffic patterns12. References: 1: ACA Cloud Computing Exam Preparation Course - Alibaba Cloud3 2: Auto Scaling: Automatically Adjusts Computing Resources - Alibaba Cloud4
