EC2 Auto Scaling Management
Refreshed our auto scaling support to include all of the recent features released by AWS. Here is a quick run through of the various things that you can do with auto scaling on EC2.
Create auto scaling groups with a new easy to use wizard that also lets you set up policies and their associated alarms for scaling up/down your EC2 fleet.
View and manage all of your resources associated with the scaling groups.
Suspend scaling processes to investigate any configuration issues with your app and resume scaling processes when you are done.
Create and manage scaling policies and their associated alarms to setup the thresholds for scaling your fleet of instances.
Setup scheduled scaling actions to increase/decrease the number of instances in your fleet. You can also setup the scaling action to be recurring on a schedule of your choice.
Peruse cloud watch charts of group metrics for the scaling group of your choice.
You can still manage your auto scaling groups that are using the trigger mechanism that has been deprecated by AWS.
More goodies on the way. Enjoy :-)
