In this section, we shall demonstrate the use of auto scaling by adding an extra load to the Hello world service.

- First, invoke the service in one browser only. The Hello world application gets invoked and the service response gets displayed in the browser, as shown in the following screenshot:

An external load balancer may also be configured, as discussed in a later chapter. As the client load on the Hello world service is increased, the number of tasks also gets increased...
