Auto Scaling

Scaling	What it is	When to use
Maintain	Ensures the required number of instances are running	Use when you always need a number of instances running at all times
Manual	Manually change desired capacity via the console or CLI	Use when your needs change rarely enough that you are ok to make manual changes
Scheduled	Adjust min/max instances on specific dates/times or recurring time period	Use when you know when your busy and quiet times are. Useful for ensuring enough instances are available before very busy times
Dynamic	Scale in response to system load or other trigger using metrics	Useful for changing capacity based on system utilization, e.g, CPU hits 80%

Policy

Scaling Policy	What it is	When to use
Target Tracking Policy	The scaling policy adds or removes capacity as required to keep the metric at, or close to, the specific target value	A use case is that you want to keep the aggregate CPU usage of your ASG at 70%
Simple Scaling Policy	Waits until health check and cool down period expires before re-evaluating	This is a more conservative way to add/remove instances. Useful when load is erratic. AWS recommend step scailing instead of simple in most cases.
Step Scaling Policy	Increase or decrease the current capacity of your ASG based on a set of scaling adjustments, known as step adjustments	Useful when you want to vary adjustments based on the size of the alarm breach
