Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling helps you maintain application availability and allows you to automatically add or remove EC2 instances according to conditions you define. You can use the fleet management features of EC2 Auto Scaling to maintain the health and availability of your fleet. You can also use the dynamic and predictive scaling features of EC2 Auto Scaling to add or remove EC2 instances. Dynamic scaling responds to changing demand and predictive scaling automatically schedules the right number of EC2 instances based on predicted demand. Dynamic scaling and predictive scaling can be used together to scale faster.
Add or remove compute capacity to meet changes in demand
Apr 10, 2017 In the Service view within AWS ECS Console, click the “Update” button and on the next page, click the “Configure Service Auto Scaling” button. Make sure you specify a reasonable Maximum. Auto-scaling is done based on a metric that is monitored and once that metric reaches a specific threshold value, a new server is spun up to balance the hike in the threshold. AWS provides us with the option of custom metrics where we can make our own metrics and set alarms based on the different values. There is no additional charge for AWS Auto Scaling. You pay only for the AWS resources needed to run your applications and Amazon CloudWatch monitoring fees. Amazon CloudWatch pricing. Amazon EC2 pricing. Amazon EC2 Spot Fleet pricing. Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) pricing. Amazon DynamoDB pricing.

Improve Fault Tolerance
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can detect when an instance is unhealthy, terminate it, and replace it with a new one.
Increase Application Availability
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling ensures that your application always has the right amount of compute, and also proactively provisions capacity with Predictive Scaling.
Lower Costs
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling adds instances only when needed, and can scale across purchase options to optimize performance and cost.
Fleet Management
Whether you are running one Amazon EC2 instance or thousands, you can use Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to detect impaired Amazon EC2 instances and unhealthy applications, and replace the instances without your intervention. This ensures that your application is getting the compute capacity that you expect. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will perform three main functions to automate fleet management for EC2 instances:
- Monitor the health of running instances
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling ensures that your application is able to receive traffic and that EC2 instances are working properly. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling periodically performs health checks to identify any instances that are unhealthy. - Replace impaired instances automatically
When an impaired instance fails a health check, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling automatically terminates it and replaces it with a new one. That means that you don’t need to respond manually when an instance needs replacing. - Balance capacity across Availability Zones
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can automatically balance instances across zones, and always launches new instances so that they are balanced between zones as evenly as possible across your entire fleet.
Scheduled Scaling
Scaling based on a schedule allows you to scale your application ahead of known load changes. For example, every week the traffic to your web application starts to increase on Wednesday, remains high on Thursday, and starts to decrease on Friday. You can plan your scaling activities based on the known traffic patterns of your web application.
Dynamic Scaling
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling enables you to follow the demand curve for your applications closely, reducing the need to manually provision Amazon EC2 capacity in advance. For example, you can use target tracking scaling policies to select a load metric for your application, such as CPU utilization. Or, you could set a target value using the new “Request Count Per Target” metric from Application Load Balancer, a load balancing option for the Elastic Load Balancing service. Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling will then automatically adjust the number of EC2 instances as needed to maintain your target.

Predictive Scaling
Predictive Scaling, a feature of AWS Auto Scaling uses machine learning to schedule the right number of EC2 instances in anticipation of approaching traffic changes. Predictive Scaling predicts future traffic, including regularly-occurring spikes, and provisions the right number of EC2 instances in advance. Predictive Scaling’s machine learning algorithms detect changes in daily and weekly patterns, automatically adjusting their forecasts. This removes the need for manual adjustment of Auto Scaling parameters as cyclicality changes over time, making Auto Scaling simpler to configure. Auto Scaling enhanced with Predictive Scaling delivers faster, simpler, and more accurate capacity provisioning resulting in lower cost and more responsive applications.

AWS Auto Scaling monitors your applications and automatically adjusts capacity to maintain steady, predictable performance at the lowest possible cost. Using AWS Auto Scaling, it’s easy to setup application scaling for multiple resources across multiple services in minutes. The service provides a simple, powerful user interface that lets you build scaling plans for resources including Amazon EC2 instances and Spot Fleets, Amazon ECS tasks, Amazon DynamoDB tables and indexes, and Amazon Aurora Replicas. AWS Auto Scaling makes scaling simple with recommendations that allow you to optimize performance, costs, or balance between them. If you’re already using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to dynamically scale your Amazon EC2 instances, you can now combine it with AWS Auto Scaling to scale additional resources for other AWS services. With AWS Auto Scaling, your applications always have the right resources at the right time.
