Air Container supports Autoscaling and Scheduled Scaling so you can operate replica counts based on your traffic patterns.

Autoscaling

Autoscaling automatically adjusts replica counts based on conditions. When enabled during resource configuration, you can set minimum and maximum replicas.

When you need autoscaling

  • Request volume varies significantly by time of day
  • You want to reduce latency while improving operational efficiency
  • Manual replica management is not practical

Scheduled Scaling

Scheduled Scaling adjusts replicas on a time-based schedule. For predictable traffic patterns, you can turn autoscaling on/off at certain times and set replica counts.

Example

If traffic increases daily from 11:30 AM to 6:30 PM:
  • 11:30 AM: Autoscale On, Min 1 / Max 3
  • 6:30 PM: Autoscale Off, Replica 1

Operational tips

  • Keep minimum replicas low when baseline traffic is small
  • Use Scheduled Scaling for expected events/time windows
  • Review real replica changes regularly in the Usage view
