Optimize Performance, Cut Costs With AWS Autoscaling ServicesCategory: Database, Infrastructure
A very easy (and free) way to get the get your money’s worth on the AWS Cloud platform is autoscaling. Autoscaling allows for better fault tolerance, better availability and better cost management, quickly scaling up and down to meet traffic demands while keeping your costs within budget by detecting and replacing the components that are not healthy enough to be present in the infrastructure.
EC2 instance autoscaling allows for the configuration of scaling policies that will scale up or down according to the policy to increase or decrease EC2 instances in your infrastructure. There are two types of scaling: manual, in which we can attach and detach EC2 instances from the autoscaling group, and dynamic scaling, in which we can define how to scale the autoscaling group capacity in response to the incoming request or changing demand in terms of specific resource utilization.
We can specify within the scaling policy whether we want to scale read capacity or write capacity (both), and the minimum and maximum provisioned capacity unit settings for the table or index.
