Steps to Update Scaling Configuration

1. Access the Auto Scaling Listing Page

2. Select the Desired Auto Scaling Instance

   • Identify the instance you want to update and click on the Manage button to go to its management page.

     

3. Find the Overview Section
   • In the management page, locate the Overview section.
4. Update Scaling Configuration
   • In the Overview section, click the option to update the scaling configuration and modify the following parameters:

     • Name : Change the name of the scaling configuration. This helps you organize and identify instances more easily.

     • Min Size : Set the minimum number of instances to run. Increasing this ensures availability during low demand but may incur higher costs; decreasing it may risk performance during sudden traffic spikes.

     • Max Size : Set the maximum number of instances. A higher max allows scaling during high demand but could increase costs if demand doesn’t reach expected levels. Reducing it limits scaling potential and helps control costs.

     • Desired Size : Set the preferred number of instances. This is the baseline the system tries to maintain. A higher desired size may incur additional costs, while a lower value could result in performance issues during high traffic periods.

       

5. Click the Update Button
   • Once you’ve made the necessary changes, click the Update button to apply the updated configuration.
6. Confirmation

   • After a successful update, a toast message will appear confirming the changes.
