Auto Scaling

Alibaba Cloud Auto Scaling is a compute service that automatically adjusts resources according to your business cycle. It helps manage fluctuating workloads without manual intervention. This tool is designed for users who need to maintain performance during peak times while reducing costs during low-traffic periods. It falls under the broader compute category, ensuring your infrastructure scales efficiently with demand.

Choose this service when your application experiences variable traffic patterns that require dynamic resource allocation. Be aware that there is no free tier available for this service. You will need to operate on a pay-as-you-go pricing model, which means costs are incurred based on actual usage rather than a fixed monthly fee.
