Application Auto Scaling integrates with other AWS services so that you can add scaling capabilities to meet your application's demand. Auto scaling is an optional feature of the service that is disabled by default in almost all cases.
The following table lists the AWS services that you can use with Application Auto Scaling, including information about supported methods for configuring auto scaling. You can also use Application Auto Scaling with custom resources.
-
Console access – You can configure a compatible AWS service to start auto scaling by configuring a scaling policy in the console of the target service.
-
CLI access – You can configure a compatible AWS service to start auto scaling using the AWS CLI.
-
SDK access – You can configure a compatible AWS service to start auto scaling using the AWS SDKs.
-
CloudFormation access – You can configure a compatible AWS service to start auto scaling using an AWS CloudFormation stack template. For more information, see Configure Application Auto Scaling resources using AWS CloudFormation.

¹ Console access for configuring scaling policies. Most services don't support configuring scheduled scaling from the console. Currently, only Amazon AppStream 2.0, ElastiCache, and Spot Fleet provide console access for scheduled scaling.
