A user identifies that a huge data download is occurring on his instance. He has already set the auto scaling policy to increase the instance count. When the network input output increase beyond a threshold limits how can the user ensure that this temporary event does not result in scaling?
Answer Posted / Saurabh Pratap Singh
To avoid scaling due to temporary events like large data downloads, you can use CloudWatch Custom Metrics and customize your Auto Scaling policy accordingly. You can create a new custom metric that tracks network traffic (e.g., using EC2 Network In/OutBytes metrics) and set up an Auto Scaling policy with conditions based on this custom metric. This way, the scaling policy will account for temporary spikes in network traffic and maintain optimal instance count.
