AWS Auto Scaling is a service that helps you automatically scale your Amazon EC2 instances up or down based on demand. This can be a great way to ensure that you have enough resources to handle peak traffic, without overpaying for idle resources.
However, it’s important to test your Auto Scaling group to make sure that it works as expected. One way to do this is to use the stress utility. The stress utility can be used to generate artificial load on your instances, which can help you test how your Auto Scaling group responds to increased demand.
