<p>The article discusses the introduction of auto scaling support for Amazon ElastiCache for Redis in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.</p>
<p>Specifically, the article covers:</p>
<ul>
<li>Auto scaling allows ElastiCache for Redis to automatically adjust capacity to maintain steady, predictable performance at the lowest possible cost</li>
<li>ElastiCache for Redis supports target tracking and scheduled auto scaling policies</li>
<li>With target tracking, ElastiCache for Redis adjusts resource capacity in response to live changes in resource utilization to maintain utilization at a target value</li>
<li>With scheduled scaling, ElastiCache for Redis can scale the cluster at specific days and times to accommodate predictable workload capacity changes</li>
<li>The feature aims to provide enough capacity to maintain high performance while reducing over-provisioning and lowering costs</li>
</ul>
