Impact of Deleting Scaling Policy

• Scaling Behavior Change : Deleting a scaling policy means that auto-scaling for that resource will no longer be triggered based on the deleted rule. This can affect the automatic adjustment of resources based on CPU, RAM, or other metrics.
• Resource Management : Deleting unnecessary or outdated scaling policies helps simplify the management of auto-scaling and ensures resources are adjusted according to the most relevant and current criteria.
