Scheduled Scaling Of The Autoscaling Group In AWS

Purpose

In the scheduled scaling, we can schedule the scaling (i.e., scaling is done at a given date and time) based on the predictable load changes.

How To Schedule A Scaling?

First, create an autoscaling group. Once the autoscaling group is created, go to the detail screen of the autoscaling group. In the detail screen, click on the Automatic scaling tab.
