Auto Scaling Cooldowns
The Auto Scaling cooldown period is a configurable setting for your Auto Scaling group that helps to ensure that Auto Scaling doesn't launch or terminate additional instances before the previous scaling activity takes effect. After the Auto Scaling group dynamically scales using a simple scaling policy, Auto Scaling waits for the cooldown period to complete before resuming scaling activities. When you manually scale your Auto Scaling group, the default is not to wait for the cooldown period but you can override the default and honor the cooldown period. Note that if an instance becomes unhealthy, Auto Scaling does not wait for the cooldown period to complete before replacing the unhealthy instance.
