By Michael McKinney - Feb. 14, 2012

This is a bit of a conceptual query. What exactly is auto-scaling in the cloud? And why would I need a third party to manage auto-scaling in the cloud?

    And third party because, one they are the experts in it and two, because managing auto-scaling ain’t an exactly mind-blowing job. Trust me, you will much feel better when someone else will do this for you.
