EUCSUS04-BP01 Implement a scaling methodology in WorkSpaces Applications

Scaling policies improve resource utilization and cost management for application streaming workloads.

Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: High

Implementation guidance

Either fleet type (On-Demand or Always-On) requires a methodology to verify that the appropriate number of instances are available when users initiate a connection. 

A combination of step scaling, scheduled scaling, or target tracking scaling is recommended to match each fleet usage. To avoid extra consumption of instances, monitor your fleet usage and modify your scaling policies accordingly. The following resources describe in further detail the differences between the types of scaling and how to configure them to align with the pattern of usage for the applications being delivered. Keep in mind that the fleet type choice is only available during the fleet creation process.
