Feature request: Predictive scaling for ECS Fargate.

hshabbar opened this issue · comments

Predictive Scaling for ECS EC2 seems to be good, I would like to request a feature to get it for ECS Fargate as well.

When I read about predictive scaling, it looks like it's an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling feature for scaling EC2 instances. For Amazon ECS users, that would be used in conjunction with capacity providers to provide more control over the scaling of your EC2 instance infrastructure you run your ECS tasks on. For Amazon ECS on AWS Fargate, there is no infrastructure for you to manage, so the only auto scaling that is involved here would be your service auto scaling where it'll scale your Fargate workloads using either a step scaling or target tracking scaling policy. I'm not sure offhand whether the predictive scaling would make sense here.

Having said all of that, AWS has a public containers roadmap which covers ECS, EKS, ECR, and Fargate and that would be the best place to put a feature request. You can find that here: https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap

Let me know if you'd like me to open the feature request for you, or you can do it yourself for better tracking.
