Do you have models for traffic pattern differences between spikes and DDoS attacks? It seems that a DDoS attack would have different patterns (quicker spike, no buildup, etc.). Just speculation here.
- ajessup 12y agoAutoscaler will respond differently to different traffic patterns, but won't go as far as identifying a particular traffic pattern as malicious and refusing to grow resources to accommodate it (most architectures filter malicious requests upstream of the instance itself, eg. at the load balancer or via a proxy). Even if you could identify malicious usage, it's still a matter of policy on how you want to respond to it - given that if it can reach your VM it will likely be affecting legitimate traffic too.
