Maximizing efficiency with AWS Auto Scaling
We’ll begin by understanding auto scaling, which is the embodiment of elasticity in the cloud. After we define auto scaling, we’ll learn how you can leverage different auto-scaling policies and strategies to meet your workload requirements. Implementing auto scaling will be key in your cloud waste reduction efforts because it’s the closest thing to not paying for resources you don’t need.
