Introduction to Auto Scaling groups
The dynamic nature of the internet requires our application to be as fluid as the tides, adjusting and adapting to ever-changing demands. This is where AWS’s Auto Scaling groups (ASG) come into play. ASG seamlessly aligns with ELB to ensure that your application meets the ongoing demand without any hitches and makes your application grow or shrink based on demand. Let’s dive deeper to understand these concepts.
Understanding the concept and components of ASG
Think of ASG as your digital traffic manager, automatically adjusting the number of EC2 instances you are running, based on real-time demand. Here’s a bit more information on how it works:
- Desired capacity: This metric defines the number of EC2 instances that ASG should maintain at all times. If an instance fails, ASG brings up another one to take its place, keeping the overall capacity consistent.
- Launch template/configurations: This is a blueprint that...
