Auto Scaling Benefits
Consider a medium/high web application running on AWS. This application allows employees to search for conference rooms they might want to use for meetings. During the beginning and end of the week, this application is used minimally. During the middle of the week, more employees are scheduling meetings, so the demand for the application increases significantly.
Traditionally, there are two ways to plan for these changes in capacity. The first option is to add enough servers so that the application always has enough capacity to meet demand. However, the downside of this option is that there are days when the application doesn't need this much capacity. The extra capacity remains unused and, in essence, raises the cost of keeping the application running.
