x-scaling

This section allows to define scaling for the ECS Service. For SQS Based scaling using step scaling, refer to SQS Documentation.

services:
  serviceA:
    x-scaling:
      range: "1-10"
      target_tracking:
        cpu_target: 80

range

Range, defines the minimum and maximum number of containers you will have running in the cluster.

#Syntax
# range: "<min>-<max>"
# Example
range: "1-21"

allow_zero

Boolean to allow the scaling to go all the way down to 0 containers running. Perfect for cost savings and get to pure event driven architecture.

Hint

If you set the range minimum above 0 and then set allow_zero to True, it will override the minimum value.

target_scaling

Allows you to define target scaling for the service based on CPU/RAM.
