Episode 77 — Auto-Scaling Configurations — Horizontal and Vertical Scaling
This episode examines how auto-scaling mechanisms adjust cloud resources to match demand in real time. Horizontal scaling adds or removes instances to distribute workloads, while vertical scaling adjusts the resources—such as CPU or memory—allocated to a single instance. We explain how to configure scaling policies, thresholds, and triggers to ensure performance stability while controlling costs.
We also discuss integrating auto-scaling with load balancing, monitoring, and automation tools for seamless responsiveness. The Cloud+ exam tests your ability to choose the right scaling model for specific workload patterns and operational goals, making this knowledge essential.
