Types of instances in Cloud computing how do they work Alibaba/Aliyun Cloud

Image
We called it as Instance lifecycle management There are two types of ECS instances:  1)automatically created 2)manually added instances. Automatically created ECS instances Automatically created ECS instances are automatically created according to scaling configuration and rules. Auto Scaling manages the lifecycle of this ECS instance type. It creates ECS instances during scale-up and stops and releases them during scale-down. Manually added ECS instances Manually added ECS instances are manually attached to a scaling group. Auto Scaling does not manage the lifecycle of this ECS instance type. When this ECS instance is removed from a scaling group, either manually or as the result of a scaling-down activity, Auto Scaling does not stop or release the instance.

How AutoScaling works in Cloud Computing

Image
After a scaling group , scaling configuration, scaling rule, and scaling trigger task are created, the system executes the following process (in this example, ECS instances are added): The task triggers a scaling activity according to the trigger condition. - The CloudMonitor task monitors the performance of ECS instances in the scaling group in real time and triggers the request for executing a scaling rule based on the configured alarm rules. For example, when the average CPU usage of all ECS instances in the scaling group exceeds 60%. - The scheduled task triggers the request for executing a scaling rule at the specified time. - The custom task triggers the request for executing a scaling rule based on the monitoring system and alarm rules. For example, the number of online users or the job queue. - Health check tasks regularly check the health status of the scaling group and its ECS instances. If an ECS instance is found to be unhealthy (not in running status), the he...

Create a scaling group. Configure the minimum and maximum number of ECS instances in the scaling group, and select the associated Server Load Balancer and RDS instances. Create scaling configuration. Configure the ECS instances attributes for Auto Scaling, such as Image ID and Instance Type. Enable the scaling group with the scaling configuration created in Step 2. Create a scaling rule. For example, add N ECS instances. Create a scheduled task. For example, to trigger the scaling rule created in Step 4 at 12:00 AM. Create an alarm task (Cloud Monitor API PutAlarmRule).

How to Delete Instance in Alibaba/Aliyun cloud

Image
You can remove an ECS instance from a specified scaling group. When an automatically created ECS instance is removed from a scaling group, the instance is stopped and released. When a manually added ECS instance is removed from a scaling group, the instance is not stopped or released. The operation will succeed under the following conditions: The scaling group is active. The scaling group is not executing any scaling activity. When no scaling activity is being executed for the scaling group, removing an ECS instance is executed directly without waiting for the cool-down time. A successful return indicates that the Auto Scaling service will shortly execute the scaling activity, but it does not mean that the scaling activity will be successfully executed. Use the returned ScalingActivityID to check the scaling activity status. If the number of existing ECS instances in the scaling group (Total Capacity) minus the number of ECS instances to be removed is less than the MinSize...
