Auto-Scaling
Automatically adjust computing resources to match your business needs.
Auto-scaling is a feature which automatically increases or decreases the ECS resources based on need. When configured and managed properly, autoscaling can ensure that your workload gets the exact resources it requires at any given time. You pay only for the server resources you need, when you need them.
Advantages
Automated Adjustments
Dynamic adjustments based on scheduled, periodic, or alarm-triggered Auto Scaling policies automatically create and bind new instances to load balancing listeners.
High Availability
Automatic instance status checks in Auto Scaling groups with immediate replacement of faulty instances ensure service availability.
Fault Tolerance
Automated detection of unhealthy servers resulting in better fault tolerance. The unhealthy server is replaced by a healthy server to ensure that users do not have to compromise on performance.
Low Cost
Pay-per-use model for ECS resources offers cost effectiveness and flexibility. Usage-based charging ensures optimized costs and charging only for the ECS resources that were used.
