Description: Policy-based adjustment is a cloud auto-scaling approach that allows organizations to efficiently manage their resources by implementing predefined rules and guidelines. This method is based on the premise that scaling decisions, whether to increase or decrease resource capacity, should be made according to specific criteria that reflect business needs and operational environment conditions. Policies may include metrics such as CPU usage, application latency, network traffic, or the number of user requests. By establishing these policies, organizations can automate the scaling process, allowing them to respond quickly to changes in demand without manual intervention. This not only optimizes application performance but also helps control operational costs by avoiding over-provisioning of resources. In a cloud environment, where elasticity is key, policy-based adjustment becomes an essential tool to ensure that resources are used optimally and that applications remain available and efficient at all times.
