Explanation:

Step Scaling Policy:

Step scaling policies allow you to define scaling actions based on different levels of CloudWatch alarms.

Steps:

Go to the AWS Management Console.

Navigate to EC2 Auto Scaling.

Select your Auto Scaling group.

Create or edit a scaling policy and choose 'Step scaling.'

Define different steps based on CloudWatch alarm thresholds (e.g., CPU usage or request count).

Configure larger adjustments for higher thresholds and smaller adjustments for lower thresholds.

Example Configuration:

For CPU > 80%, increase capacity by 4 instances.

For CPU > 60%, increase capacity by 2 instances.

For CPU > 40%, increase capacity by 1 instance.
