Enable or disable a scaling group - Auto Scaling - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

A scaling group performs scale-out and scale-in activities only when enabled. Disabling a scaling group stops these activities.

Usage notes

Before you Enable a scaling group, verify that its scaling group configuration and instance configuration source meet your requirements to ensure that scaling events run as expected.
Before you perform the Disabled operation on a scaling group, you can evaluate and choose a suitable time, such as during off-peak business hours or a maintenance window.
When a scaling group is Disabled, any in-progress scaling events will continue to run, but subsequent scaling events will be rejected. After a scaling group is Disabled, its existing instances will not be released by scaling events.

In the navigation pane on the left, click Scaling Groups.
In the top navigation bar, select a region.
