DEFINITION
Autoscaling is a powerful and systemized cloud computing feature which helps in overall scaling of resources through an automation process which depends on the workload and metrics. In simple terms, autoscaling strengthens your application to scale the resources automatically based on demand and workload which includes compute power and VMs.
Why is Autoscaling Important?
- Performance – Applications stay responsive during spikes in demand
- Cost efficient – No unnecessary resource use when demand is low
- Availability – Applications stay available
- Flexibility – Change the capacity of infrastructure as business needs change
Use cases
- Scale e-commerce websites during high traffic periods and promotions
- Scale cloud resources for AI inferencing and machine learning workloads
- Scale resources for varying demand of enterprise applications and APIs
- Scale containerized applications (such as Kubernetes)
