Overall Satisfaction with AWS Auto Scaling

We use AWS Auto Scaling for two purposes: 1. Increase the CPU from 2 to 4 when the number of users is high and the applications respond slowly. 2. Automatically increase the RAM during reporting season when there are high calculations.
  • Set policies to add more instances when CPU utilization exceeds.
  • Prevents downtime, as we don't need to stop the servers.
  • Auto Scaling group can be setup for different types of apps.
  • There could be sample templates to use from.
  • It should suggest sample Groups based on the type of app.
  • Improves User experience by preventing downtime.
  • Gives high availability and performance.
  • It is complex to setup and there R&D time and effort is needed.
