Benefits of AWS (Amazon Web Services) Auto Scaling EC2
Scaling as discussed should be implemented in an EC2 instance, in order to achieve more flexibility if the demand for application increases. Let’s discuss what are the detailed benefits of Auto Scaling an EC2.
A method to make the most of AWS Cloud is to incorporate Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling into your application design. The applications benefit the following when you use Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling:
- Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling ensures that your application has enough capacity to handle current traffic demand at all times. This means your application can add or remove new and old instances respectively with respect to the demand of the application. The feature of auto adding and terminating the instances as per demand is termed as Better Availability of the application.
- Suppose an instance, becomes unhealthy by the time and is in use despite this fact. The chances of its crashing increase. Here comes another use case of Auto Scaling EC2. It will recognize which instance is not healthy or in technical terms which instance is slow, low efficient, etc, and automatically terminated the instance and replace it with a brand new instance. Furthermore, a user can employ several availability zones with Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling. If one zone goes down or crashes, EC2 Auto Scaling compensates the same by launching instances in other zones. In this way, the traffic is can be migrated to the other zone in which new instances are added in order to manage traffic till the crashed zone gets healthy again.
- Auto Scaling is highly cost-efficient and must be employed if you’re not sure about the traffic that your application will be receiving. As per the need, Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling can dynamically raise and reduce capacity. The user can save money by this as only according to the demand, new instances will be created and will be charged. As soon as the traffic to the application reduces, some instances get terminated and in this way, you use and pay for the instance that you really need.

Scalability refers to the capacity of a software solution to manage rising workloads. In simple terms, it is the ability of a system to readily add extra processing resources to handle the increased loads. Scaling Amazon EC2 means you start with the resources you require at the time of starting your service and build your architecture to automatically scale in or out, in response to the changing demand. As a result, you only pay for the resources you really utilize. You don’t have to be concerned about running out of computational power to satisfy your consumer’s demand.
