Overview
Auto-scaling is an Amazon EC2 functionality that insures that an optimal number of EC2 instances are started and maintained running, to handle the load of a specific application. The EC2 instances whose number is controlled this way are part of an auto-scaling group.
Auto-scaling allows for scaling plans', which control the number of active instances as the demand on the application increases or decreases.
