Scaling EC2 Using SQS
You are a solutions architect at an e-commerce firm. The company runs flash sales from time to time, and when there's a spike in orders, the fulfillment backend struggles to meet demand. In order to provide the extra instances necessary to handle those spikes in both a cost-efficient and sustainable way, you will implement Auto Scaling rules for EC2 based on metrics received from CloudWatch.
