Auto-scaling

Scale out when you need it. Scale in when you don't. Automatic.

Why choose auto-scaling?
  • ✓
    Set min and max, we handle the rest
    Define your bounds — auto-scaling responds to demand automatically
  • ✓
    Works with compute and Kubernetes
    Auto-scale cloud compute instances or ACKS worker nodes
  • ✓
    Pay only for what's running
    Instances scale in when demand drops — you stop paying for them
  • ✓
    $12/mo — load balancer included
    Auto-scaling with a load balancer for $12/mo — no additional egress fees

Core features

Everything you need to build and scale.

  • ○
    Horizontal scaling
    Add or remove instances automatically based on demand
  • ○
    Min/max configuration
    Set floor and ceiling on instance count to control capacity and cost
  • ○
    Kubernetes cluster scaling
    Auto-scale ACKS worker nodes with one toggle in the dashboard
  • ○
    Compute instance scaling
    Scale cloud compute instances based on CPU and RAM utilization
  • ○
    Load balancer included
    Load balancer included in the $12/mo package — no separate charge
  • ○
    Dashboard control
    Enable, configure, and monitor scaling from the web portal

What sets us apart

See why teams choose American Cloud.

Capability
Why it matters
$12/mo with load balancer included
AWS charges separately for CloudWatch, scaling policies, and ALBs — we bundle it all for $12/mo
Simple configuration
Set min and max — no complex scaling policy syntax to learn
Zero egress fees on scaled instances
Scale out without worrying about bandwidth costs multiplying
Works across products
Scale both standalone compute and Kubernetes worker nodes
Pay only for running instances
Scale in automatically when demand drops — stop paying immediately

Ideal use cases

Built for these workloads.

  • ✓
    Web applications with variable traffic patterns
  • ✓
    E-commerce sites during peak sales events
  • ✓
    API backends with unpredictable load
  • ✓
    Kubernetes clusters that need to grow and shrink with demand
  • ✓
    SaaS platforms with per-tenant scaling requirements

Developer workflow

From zero to production in minutes.

  • ○
    Select your compute instances or Kubernetes cluster
  • ○
    Enable auto-scaling
    Toggle on from the dashboard
  • ○
    Set minimum and maximum instance count
    Define the bounds for your scaling group
  • ○
    Attach a load balancer (for compute)
    Distribute traffic across all scaled instances
  • ○
    Monitor scaling events
    Track scale-out and scale-in actions from the dashboard
