The most used Auto Scaling Tool by myself and others

It's very easy for any level of user, even if you're not familiar with AWS or computer programming it is still possible! I love that they have so many features in one application like this as well which makes managing my account easier than ever before!! They also offer an API too making them more useful overall since we can use their software outside our own applications but within ours there are some limitations when using multiple accounts through different companies (we run several…

Pros
  • The amount to information readily available.
  • Very simple interface
  • Easy set up instructions provided at start.
  • Fast response time
Cons
  • Good but not great

Auto Scales makes life smooth and stress-free

I like that it is easy for me as an employee, or even my boss if he/she knows how this works (or at least has heard of) auto scaling features in AWS services such us ECS containers instances etc.. It's very helpful when you have multiple microservices running with different applications where sometimes one might fail but others are fine so having these automatic fixes helps keep your business up & going! At first we had some issues getting our app working correctly since there was no manual…

Pros
  • The ease to use / work ability once setup properly.
  • No hassle involved while doing changes manually instead just using simple commands within terminal window !!! :).(like "sudo service aws_autoscaler restart" )etc.
Cons
  • Not bad

Great tool to help control costs and simplify automation

I have used this product for almost two years now, it's been very useful in creating automated rules that reduce our AWS bill by 30% or more each month without any human intervention (which is always good). Some of its features are not as powerful/easy at other products like CloudWatch Automate - but they've added new functionality recently so you can use both together if needed! Make sure your account has enough credits available before purchasing because once purchased there aren't refunds…

Pros
  • Customizable automation
  • Multiple actions within an action
  • Good user friendly interface + docs to go alongwithit
Cons
  • Occasional glitches where no one seems be informed about issues
  • Lack luster documentation / support
