What is Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling?
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling enables users to automatically adjust the compute capacity of their Amazon EC2 instances based on defined conditions. It helps maintain application availability by automatically scaling instances up or down as needed, ensuring adequate resources to handle fluctuations in demand. This service allows users to define the specific criteria, such as CPU utilization or network traffic, that trigger the scaling process, providing a dynamic and adaptive solution for managing infrastructure
