EC2 Auto Scaling Groups

Here you will find an overview of all your EC2 auto scaling groups. These auto scaling groups can also be managed by aewacs to help you easily configure scaling and uptime schedules.

If you see a lock under the Actions column, this means the EC2 Auto scaling group is not set to active in your Plan management. (See Plan management under Organization Settings). After your EC2 Scaling group is set to active you will get access to the full functionality that aewacs provides.

Start / Stop

To start or stop an EC2 auto scaling group select “Actions” next to the group you want to manage. In the list that pops up select “Start” if your EC2 auto scaling group is suspended, or “Stop” if it is currently running.

Edit Uptime Schedule
