Autoscaling

Overview

Autoscaling ensures that NitroEnclaveDeployments adapt to changing demand while maximizing resource efficiency. Cluster autoscaling adds or removes Nitro Enclave‑capable nodes in your EKS cluster when pods are pending or underutilized. Pod autoscaling uses custom telemetry from inside each enclave—such as request throughput or in‑enclave CPU usage—to adjust the number of replicas dynamically, letting every deployment scale on its own real‑time load profile.
