Auto Scaling Groups (ASG)

AWS Cloud Practitioner to Architect: 0 to Hero

Auto Scaling Groups

ASG helps you maintain application availability and allows you to automatically add or remove EC2 instances according to conditions you define.

Main Goals:

  • Scale OUT: Add instances to handle load.
  • Scale IN: Remove instances to save cost.
  • Self-Healing: Replace unhealthy instances automatically.
