Scaling Policies

Explore how AWS scaling policies automate resource management by scaling applications in response to varying workloads. Understand different policy types like dynamic, scheduled, and predictive scaling. Learn how these policies use metrics to optimize performance and cost, helping applications maintain high availability and efficiency during load changes.

The AWS scaling policies are instrumental in the dynamic management of application scalability in such a way that it promotes operational efficiency. This allows to automatically scale in and out in response to change. In this lesson, we’ll discuss how these policies enable us to maintain the performance ability and efficiency of resources. This helps the application handle varying workloads at the same time it needs for operations.

Understanding scaling policies

The scaling policies are the rules or guidelines that automatically scale the resources. These act as smart helpers that constantly look after the application and enable resource adjustment using the conditions.

Whether our application requires more power because of a surge in users or less because it is a quiet day, the scaling policies ensure that our application gets only what it requires for ...
