AWS Auto Scaling enables the configuration of automatic scaling for the AWS resources as part of the application.
The AWS Auto Scaling console provides a single user interface to use the automatic scaling features of multiple AWS services.
- Configure automatic scaling for individual resources or whole applications.
- Configure and manage scaling for resources through a scaling plan.
The scaling plan uses dynamic scaling and predictive scaling to automatically scale application resources.
Use the AWS public cloud integration to discover and collect metrics against the AWS service.
