Summary
In this chapter, we looked at Auto Scaling and how it can automatically manage the demand that is presented to us by both internal and external customers. We took a look at the different ways in which ASGs could be configured using different scaling policies, and even went through the hands-on exercise of deploying an ASG. Lastly, we looked at the Auto Scaling lifecycle and how lifecycle hooks can help perform more complex tasks than just simple scaling.
In the next chapter, we will be starting the first of a few chapters focused on securing your environment and your pipeline by talking about protecting your data both in transit and at rest. This will especially cover the Key Management Service (KMS) and using Amazon Certificate Manager (ACM) for server-side certificates.
