Scaling policies

The scaling policies detail how many instances to create or delete when they are triggered. It also defines a Cooldown value, which helps prevent flapping serverswhen servers are created and deleted before they have finished starting and are useful.

While the scaling policies in this example use equal values, you might want to change that so your application can scale up quickly, and scale down slowly for the best user experience.
