So select your auto-scaling group, then go to the automatic scaling tab and then click create dynamic scaling policy. Here we have the three policy types we discussed: target tracking scaling, step scaling and simple scaling. We'll use the first option. Then we'll provide a name for the policy. I'm going to call this as Maintain CPU at 70. Then we have the metric types we discussed. Average CPU utilization, average network in, average network out and application load balancer request count per target. We'll use the first metric, average CPU utilization and…
