Setting up Auto Scaling

This section introduces you to dynamic scaling for your deployed application. As explained, the application will scale out; more EC2 instances will be added or scaled in.

We will select the metric from a defined set and apply rules so that our Auto Scaling can scale in or out based on these rules.
