☁️Auto Scaling-Cheatsheet / How to Use Auto Scaling Service on HUAWEI CLOUD
Introduction
I wanted to introduce you to HUAWEI CLOUD services that are used very often when creating this cheatsheet and these articles will be a quick reference for you.
I strongly recommend you check the support page and documentation of the relevant service for detailed information and learn by testing the services.
Auto Scaling automatically adjusts compute resources based on scaling policies you define, striking a balance between performance and cost.
Auto Scaling (AS) helps you automatically scale Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) and bandwidth resources to keep up with changes in demand based on pre-configured AS policies. It allows you to add ECS instances or increase bandwidths to handle load increases and also save money by removing resources that are sitting idle.
1. Create an AS Configuration
2. Create an AS Group
3. Add an AS Policy
4. Configure AS Policy Parameters
5. Manually Add Instances

Auto Scaling and Other Related Services
AS automatically scales resources to keep up with service demands based on pre-configured AS policies. With automatic resource scaling, you can enjoy reduced costs, improved availability, and high fault tolerance. AS is used for the following scenarios:
- Heavy-traffic forums: The traffic on a popular forum is difficult to predict. AS dynamically adjusts the number of ECS instances based on monitored ECS metrics, such as vCPU and memory usage.
- E-commerce: During big promotions, e-commerce websites need more resources. AS automatically increases ECS instances and bandwidths within minutes to ensure that promotions go smoothly.
- Live streaming: A live-streaming website may broadcast popular programs from 14:00 to 16:00 every day. AS automatically scales out ECS and bandwidth resources during this period to ensure a smooth viewer experience.
Conclusion
In this article, I created a cheat sheet and quick reference page for you to use HUAWEI CLOUD services.
While using services, you should pay attention to billing and usage types. You should turn off unused services.
I recommend that you pay attention to these so that you do not encounter unexpected bills. I wish you good developments.
