Statements B and C are false . Huawei Cloud distinguishes alarm-based, scheduled, and periodic Auto Scaling policies. An alarm policy triggers a scaling operation in response to monitored metrics such as CPU utilization. Scaling “every three hours” is time-interval behavior and therefore belongs to a periodic policy , not an alarm policy. This makes B incorrect.

Statement C is also incorrect. The expected number of instances is the desired number of ECS instances that should currently run within an AS group. Huawei specifies that this value must remain between the configured minimum and maximum instance counts. It can be modified manually or changed through scheduled, periodic, or alarm-based policies. It is not synonymous with the minimum instance count during peak hours.

Statement A is valid because an AS configuration can use a Huawei Cloud public image; Huawei's AS configuration parameters explicitly support public, private, and shared images.

Statement D is also valid. Huawei specifies that when an existing ECS is manually added to an AS group, the ECS must not already be a member of another AS group .

Consequently, the two false statements are B and C .
