Hello vinodache,
Thanks for your question,
As for simple scaling, you don’t maintain a particular CPU utilization. You basically just have to define the threshold levels at which your ASG will scale in and out. In target tracking, you specify a CPU utilization that you want your ASG to maintain. For example, you want to maintain an average CPU utilization of 70% at all times. ASG will attempt to maintain this utilization by scaling out instances. So if the ave CPU utilization crosses 70%, ASG will create new instances to balance the load across the instances.
Let me know if this helps.
