Auto-scaling
Definition
Auto-scaling automatically adjusts the number of running compute instances based on observed load metrics like CPU utilization, request queue depth, or custom metrics. Horizontal scaling adds or removes instances; vertical scaling changes instance size.
Cloud auto-scaling groups (AWS ASG, GCP MIG) handle the provisioning lifecycle, enabling systems to handle traffic spikes without over-provisioning for baseline load.
