Automatically scale your resources based on demand
Intelligently and automatically scale your infrastructure. Auto-scaling monitors your applications and adjusts capacity to maintain stable performance at the lowest cost.
Why use Auto-scaling?
Benefits that transform your infrastructure management
Smart Savings
Pay only for the resources you really need. Reduce costs by scaling down during periods of low demand.
Guaranteed Performance
Keep your application responsive during traffic spikes. New instances are automatically provisioned.
Zero Manual Intervention
Eliminate the need for 24/7 monitoring. Configure once and let the system work for you.
How It Works in 4 Steps
Simple and automated process to scale your infrastructure
1. Define Rules
Configure metrics such as CPU, memory, or requests per second.
2. Set Limits
Determine the minimum and maximum number of instances for your group.
3. Automate Actions
The system adds or removes VMs based on defined conditions.
4. Monitor Health
Health checks ensure that only healthy instances receive traffic.
Metrics-Based Policies
- CPU Usage
- Memory Consumption
- Network Traffic
- Custom metrics via API
Bidirectional Scalability
- Scale-out: add instances when needed.
- Scale-in: remove idle instances automatically.
- Cooldown periods to avoid flapping.
Time-Based Scheduling
- Scale at specific times for planned events.
- Prepare your infrastructure for known demand peaks.
- Turn off dev/test environments outside business hours.

Example of auto-scaling configuration
Auto-scaling Group: Min Instances: 2 Max Instances: 10 Desired Capacity: 3 Scale-out Policy: Metric: CPU > 75% Duration: 5 minutes Action: Add 2 instances Cooldown: 300 seconds Scale-in Policy: Metric: CPU < 30% Duration: 10 minutes Action: Remove 1 instance Cooldown: 300 seconds

Capacity that follows your demand
Auto-scaling sizes your infrastructure intelligently and automatically, monitoring metrics such as CPU, memory and network traffic. When demand rises, new instances are provisioned; when it drops, idle instances are removed.
The result is smart savings — you pay only for the resources you need — with guaranteed performance during peaks and zero manual intervention. Set the rules once and let the system work for you.
Frequently asked questions
What is Auto-scaling?
It is a capability that automatically adjusts the number of your application's instances based on demand, adding capacity during peaks and reducing it during quiet periods.
Which metrics trigger scaling?
You can base policies on CPU usage, memory consumption, network traffic and custom metrics via API, defining exactly when to scale.
Does scaling work in both directions?
Yes. Scale-out adds instances when needed and scale-in automatically removes idle instances, always within the minimum and maximum limits you define.
Can I schedule scaling for planned events?
Yes. In addition to metric-based policies, you can schedule scaling by time, provisioning capacity ahead of predictable events and peaks.
How does the system avoid capacity flapping?
Through cooldown periods between scaling actions, the system avoids excessively adding and removing instances in response to short load fluctuations.
Does Auto-scaling help reduce costs?
Yes. Since you pay only for the resources actually used and the system reduces capacity during low-demand periods, Auto-scaling optimizes costs without compromising performance.
