Hi,

This article gives you a good overview on all scaling strategies incl. schedule scaling and predictive scaling:

https://www.missioncloud.com/blog/top-five-aws-auto-scaling-strategies

In essence:

  • you use schedule scaling when you know in advance the changes (increases / decreases) in your workloads due to scheduled events that triggers those changes
  • you use predictive scaling when you have data points about previous moments of workloads changes and you use a predictive model (ML-based or not) to predict the future changes in your workloads and adapt your compute capacity accordingly. Best,

Didie

Predictive scaling uses machine learning to predict capacity requirements based on historical data from CloudWatch https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-predictive-scaling-for-ec2-powered-by-machine-learning/

Scheduled scaling is set manually https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/application/userguide/application-auto-scaling-scheduled-scaling.html
