EC2 Auto Scaling (ASG) released an all new, intelligent, and highly responsive Target Tracking scaling policy. Now, Target Tracking automatically adapts to the unique usage patterns of your individual applications, and closely monitors application demand to make more timely scaling decisions. With this feature, you can enhance your application performance, and also maintain high utilization for your EC2 resources to save costs.
For applications that have volatile demand patterns, like client-serving APIs, live streaming services, ecommerce websites, on-demand data processing, customers can now configure Target Tracking policies to monitor usage through high-resolution, sub-minute, CloudWatch metrics. With this fine-grained monitoring, Target Tracking has reduced the time to detect and respond to changing demand. In addition, these new Target Tracking policies self-tune their responsiveness to automatically find the optimal balance between cost and performance for each application, saving customers time and effort.
The feature is available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. You can use Amazon Web Services Management Console, Amazon CLI, Amazon SDKs, and Amazon CloudFormation to update your Target Tracking configurations. Refer EC2 Auto Scaling user guide to learn more.
