Automatically scale in and out

Launch new Nobus FCS instances seamlessly and automatically when demand increases, and terminate Nobus FCS instances not needed automatically and save money when demand subsides.

Choose when and how to scale

Scale dynamically based on your Nobus metrics or predictably according to a schedule that you define. Receive notifications to be alerted when you use Nobus alarms to initiate Nobus FCS Auto Scaling actions, or when FCS Auto Scaling completes an action.

Fleet management

Automating how your Nobus FCS fleet is managed can help maintain the availability of your applications. Nobus FCS Auto Scaling will automatically replace unhealthy or unreachable instances to maintain higher availability of your applications. To automate fleet management for FCS instances, FCS Auto Scaling monitors the health of running instances, automatically replaces impaired instances, and balances capacity across Availability Zones.

Predictive Scaling

Predictive Scaling, predicts future traffic, including regularly-occurring spikes, and provisions the right number of FCS instances in advance of predicted changes. Predictive Scaling’s machine learning algorithms detect changes in daily and weekly patterns, automatically adjusting their forecasts. This removes the need for manual adjustment of Auto Scaling parameters over time, making Auto Scaling simpler to configure and consume. Auto Scaling enhanced with Predictive Scaling delivers faster, simpler, and more accurate capacity provisioning resulting in lower cost and more responsive applications.

Support for multiple purchase models, instance types, and more

Nobus FCS Auto Scaling lets you provision and automatically scale instances across purchase options, Availability Zones (AZ), and instance families in a single application to optimize scale, performance, and cost.
