Title
Apply auto-scaling
Description
Auto scaling involves scaling the application to optimize the performance and costs. The application is monitored and automatically adjusted to ensure stable performance at the lowest costs. This enables on-demand resource usage which is a different approach compared to the traditional method where extra resources are constantly available to be prepared for peak load. When applying auto-scaling, the number of resources used are adjusted based on the workload. Hence, the energy to power the resources is proportional to the workload. Thus, we expect a positive effect of auto-scaling on energy efficiency.
