Part A: Auto$-$scaling

$1.$ Auto$-$scaling uses templates. What does a launch template contain?

$2.$ Consider the command below. How many instances would be launched initially? Why?

aws autoscaling create$-$auto$-$scaling$-$group $--$auto$-$scaling$-$group$-$name my$-$asg $--$instance$-$id i$-0$e$69$cc$3$f$05$f$825$f$4$f $--$min$-$size $1--$max$-$size $5--$desired$-$capacity $3$

$3.$ What would happen if there was a sustained peak workload and $5$ instances could not keep up with the demand?

$4.$ What would happen some time after operations return to normal?

$5.$ Xmas$-$Shines is a local company delivering gifts all year round, but for obvious reasons there is a high demand for the Christmas holidays. What auto scaling policy would better suit Xmas$-$Shines$$ needs and why?
