Auto Scaling Group Cooldown Period

Ensure that your AWS Auto Scaling Groups are configured to use a cool down period.

A scaling cool down helps you prevent your Auto Scaling group from launching or terminating additional instances before the effects of previous activities are visible.

Recommended Actions

Implement proper cool down period for Auto Scaling groups to temporarily suspend any scaling actions.
