App Service

Question:

Which of these scenarios is a suitable candidate for autoscaling?

The system is subject to a sudden influx of requests that grinds your system to a halt.
The number of users requiring access to an application varies according to a regular schedule. For example, more users use the system on a Friday than other days of the week.
Your organization is running a promotion and expects to see increased traffic to their web site for the next couple of weeks.

Answer:

Changes in application load that are predictable are good candidates for autoscaling.
Organization running a promotion: Manual scaling is a better option here since this is a one-off event with a known duration.
Sudden influx of requests: The increasing burst of activity could be caused by a Denial of Service attack that is attempting to overwhelm your system. Autoscaling wouldn't solve the problem.
