Is this creating autoscale groups and such on my behalf? Or is the automation being done by a service in finally.io?

- icecommander 13y agoRight now the automation is done by a service (no autoscaling groups are created on your behalf). Do you have triggers in mind that you would like to create autoscaling groups for you?
- aaronpk 13y agoNo I mean that AWS provides a lot of this sort of automation internally, for example by configuring autoscale groups to respond to various cloudwatch metrics. I was wondering if finally.io is a UI layer on top of the existing AWS tools.
- icecommander 13y agoOur initial set of automation rules consists of things that are not readily doable with autoscaling. We do use the AWS APIs but I wouldn't consider what we do to be a UI layer. We automate things that are currently hard or impossible to do with the AWS console. A great example of this is scaling RDS storage or DynamoDB capacity based on actual use (and not just as a one-off operation).
