AWS Application Auto Scaling Icon

AWS Application Auto Scaling automatically adjusts the resources allocated to your applications based on their needs. It monitors various metrics, like CPU utilization or queue length, and automatically scales the number of instances, or the provisioned capacity of your services, to ensure optimal performance and cost efficiency. This helps applications handle fluctuating workloads smoothly, avoiding both under-provisioning (leading to slowdowns) and over-provisioning (leading to wasted resources).
