Description: On-Demand Scaling is a fundamental feature in cloud computing environments that allows for the automatic adjustment of computing resources based on the current demand of applications. This means that when the workload increases, the system can automatically increase the number of instances or nodes, and conversely, reduce them when demand decreases. This dynamic scaling capability not only optimizes resource usage but also helps maintain consistent and efficient application performance. On-Demand Scaling relies on metrics such as CPU usage, memory, and other custom metrics, allowing administrators to define specific scaling policies. This functionality is especially relevant in production environments where workloads can be unpredictable, enabling organizations to respond quickly to changes in demand without manual intervention. Additionally, On-Demand Scaling contributes to reduced operational costs, as companies only pay for the resources they actually use, leading to greater efficiency and sustainability in cloud infrastructure management.
