Explain the difference between desired, minimum, and maximum capacity.
ASG Capacity Attributes
These three settings define the boundaries within which the Auto Scaling Group operates. They ensure that your application has enough resources without exceeding your budget.
Capacity Definitions
Minimum Capacity: The floor value; ASG will never terminate instances below this number even if load is zero.
Maximum Capacity: The ceiling value; ASG will never scale out beyond this number, protecting you from runaway costs.
Desired Capacity: The number of instances the ASG attempts to maintain at any given time. Scaling policies update this value.
