Use these guides to plan, create, manage, and troubleshoot Auto Scaling **scale groups** in MyAccount. Most workflows start from **Compute > Auto Scaling** in the left navigation.

Auto Scaling grows and shrinks a pool of compute nodes automatically against a policy you define, so your application stays responsive during peak demand and costs less during quiet periods. The Scaler launches and terminates nodes from a saved image, registers and de-registers them on your load balancer, and scales on CPU, a custom metric, a schedule, or a combination. If you are new to it, start with [Auto Scaling Concepts](/docs/myaccount/auto-scaling/getting-started/auto-scaling-concepts).
