Rating: 9 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We use AWS auto scaling for scaling up our cloud virtual machines to handle the increase or decrease in workload. It really helps us to satisfy the demand because it doesn't take lot of time to spin up new machines and it is also very cost effective in terms of pricing.
Pros
- To spin up new machines quickly
- To delete the unused machines whenever load gets decreased
- To support unexpected demand or surge in requests
Cons
- May be they can add more functionality to the load balancer
- Also there is scope for improvement in time which it takes to spin up new machines
Likelihood to Recommend
It is well suited for scaling up our cloud virtual machines to handle the increase or decrease in workload. It really helps us to satisfy the demand because it doesn't take lot of time to spin up new machines. If there is unpredictability in the demand it is very useful. But it is a over kill if demand is consistent.
