Abin da auto scaling ya yi
Auto Scaling adjusts capacity AUTOMATICALLY based on demand:
→ load INCREASES (traffic spike) → add instances (scale OUT) → handle the load
→ load DECREASES → remove instances (scale IN) → save money
→ Match capacity to demand automatically: reliable under load, cheap when idle.
EC2 Auto Scaling Groups (ASG)
An AUTO SCALING GROUP manages a fleet of EC2 instances:
MIN / MAX / DESIRED capacity → bounds and target number of instances
LAUNCH TEMPLATE → how to launch new instances (AMI, type, config)
SCALING POLICIES → rules for when to scale (see below)
HEALTH CHECKS → replace unhealthy instances automatically (self-healing!)
→ typically spread across multiple AZs (high availability)
Scaling policies (lokacin da za a gida)
TARGET TRACKING → keep a metric at a target (e.g. "keep average CPU at 50%") — simplest
STEP / SIMPLE SCALING → add/remove N instances when a metric crosses a threshold
SCHEDULED → scale at known times (e.g. more capacity during business hours)
PREDICTIVE → ML-based, anticipating load
→ Usually based on CloudWatch metrics (CPU, request count, custom metrics).
Me yasa ya sa mahimmanci
✓ RELIABILITY — handle traffic spikes automatically (no manual intervention, no overload)
✓ COST-EFFICIENCY — scale IN during low demand → don't pay for idle capacity
✓ SELF-HEALING — auto-replace failed instances (combined with health checks)
✓ Pairs with a LOAD BALANCER (distributes traffic across the scaled instances)
