Dynamically scaling applications in cloud computing environments is a fairly simple task. But doing it in a way that maintains performance while maximizing resources and minimizing costs well, that is not so trivial a task unless you have the right tools. This blog post explains that doing Cloud scalability right should be a balancing act that maximizes performance and efficiency while minimizing costs. While allowing “the cloud” to auto-scale encourages operational efficiency, it often does so at the expense of performance and higher costs.
