Configuring Autoscaling feature enables your software firewalls to automatically scale up or down based on traffic demands, ensuring optimal resource utilization and cost efficiency. With this feature, you can configure the firewall to publish CloudWatch metrics which in turn triggers the Autoscaling events.

With Autoscaling, you can choose between static or dynamic scaling models during deployment. Dynamic scaling allows you to select from several metrics to base your autoscaling decisions on, giving you fine-grained control over how your security infrastructure adapts to changing conditions. This approach ensures that your security posture remains robust during traffic surges while optimizing license consumption during periods of lower demand. After traffic decreases and firewalls are deactivated, the system automatically removes the firewalls from inventory and returns licenses to your pool for future scaling events.
